School Overview

Tucked into the rural outskirts of Oroville in Butte County, Wilcox Elementary serves the youngest learners in the Palermo Union district with a tight-knit, community feel that's pretty typical of this laid-back corner of Northern California foothills. Math is a relative strength here, landing the school solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, while English scores leave a little room to grow. Families who appreciate a smaller, close-to-nature setting — where kids know their teachers and the pace of life is a little slower — tend to find a good fit in this K-3 community.
