Lucille M. Nixon Elementary

Tucked into the leafy streets bordering Stanford University's campus, Nixon Elementary sits at the heart of one of the most academically stimulating ZIP codes in the country. Families here tend to be deeply engaged in their children's education — many are faculty, researchers, or professionals drawn to the university community — and that energy shows up in a school culture that takes learning seriously without losing its warmth. If you're lucky enough to live in this corner of the Peninsula, Nixon offers a remarkable neighborhood school experience where the surrounding intellectual environment and the classroom feel genuinely connected.
