Howe Avenue Elementary

Howe Avenue Elementary sits in the heart of Sacramento's Arden-Arcade area, a neighborhood that blends older suburban charm with a diverse, working-class community. Families here are close-knit and the school reflects that spirit, though it faces real academic challenges that prospective parents should go in with open eyes about. For families who are deeply embedded in the local community and looking for a neighborhood school where involvement and advocacy can make a real difference, Howe Avenue may be worth a closer look — especially for those willing to supplement learning at home or through outside programs.
