School Overview

Hawthorne Elementary sits in one of California's most livable cities, where San Luis Obispo's laid-back Central Coast charm meets a genuinely strong academic environment. Families drawn to outdoor living, a tight-knit community, and solid across-the-board academics in English, math, and science will feel right at home here. It's the kind of neighborhood school that reflects the best of SLO itself — unhurried, well-rounded, and quietly impressive.
