Grand Oaks Elementary

Grand Oaks Elementary sits in Citrus Heights, a working-class suburb just northeast of Sacramento where neighborhoods are tight-knit and families tend to put down roots for the long haul. The school serves a community that faces some real academic challenges, with test scores that fall below state averages across English, math, and science — something families considering enrollment will want to weigh carefully. That said, San Juan Unified offers a range of magnet and choice programs throughout the district, so parents in this area often find it worth exploring all their options before settling on the right fit.
