Fred T. Korematsu Elementary at Mace Ranch

Tucked into the family-friendly Mace Ranch neighborhood on Davis's east side, Korematsu Elementary offers solid academics in a community that genuinely values education — not surprising given Davis's reputation as a college town where engaged, involved parents are the norm. The school draws families who appreciate a neighborhood feel with strong science scores and a well-rounded curriculum, and it sits just a short bike ride (this is Davis, after all) from parks, trails, and the kind of walkable, progressive community that makes the city so appealing to young families. If you're settling into Mace Ranch or the surrounding east Davis area, Korematsu is a natural fit for families looking for a grounded, community-connected school experience.
