Leo R. Croce Elementary

Tucked into Livermore's family-friendly east side, Leo R. Croce Elementary is a solid neighborhood school where science scores stand out and kids consistently perform above the state middle. Livermore itself is a great fit for families who want suburban breathing room without fully leaving the Bay Area behind — think wine country vibes, good weather, and a tight-knit community feel that's a world away from the hustle of the closer-in East Bay cities. Croce tends to attract families who value a grounded, well-rounded elementary experience in a neighborhood where people actually know their neighbors.
