Gravenstein First

Tucked into the laid-back, orchard-dotted town of Sebastopol, Gravenstein First serves the earliest chapter of a child's school journey in a community known for its strong sense of place and independent spirit. The school sits in a district that draws families who value small-town warmth and a more relaxed pace of life — the kind of place where neighbors know each other and local roots run deep. Math scores trend a bit stronger than English at this point, which is pretty typical for early grades, and families new to the area often appreciate the tight-knit feel that comes with being part of such a small, close community.
