Kettering Elementary

Kettering Elementary sits in one of Long Beach's most sought-after pockets, close to the waterfront neighborhoods of Belmont Shore and Naples, where tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community make it easy to put down roots. The school's consistently strong marks across English, math, and science put it well above most of its peers statewide, drawing families who want a solid academic foundation without leaving the laid-back coastal energy that makes this part of Long Beach so livable. It's a natural fit for parents who want their kids walking or biking to a school with real academic momentum, then spending afternoons near the beach or at one of the neighborhood's many local shops and parks.
