New Hope Elementary

New Hope Elementary sits in the small, agricultural community of Thornton, deep in the San Joaquin Delta, where the pace of life is quiet and the school serves as a true centerpiece of the tight-knit community around it. English scores are a relative strength here, though math and science present real challenges that families should factor in when thinking about long-term academic preparation. This is a school that will likely appeal most to families already rooted in the area who value the close community feel that only a small rural school can offer.
