Newland (William T.) Elementary

Tucked into the quiet, well-kept neighborhoods of south Huntington Beach, Newland Elementary is the kind of school that makes families feel like they landed in exactly the right place. Academic performance here is genuinely exceptional — consistently among the top schools in all of California — making it a natural draw for families who prioritize rigorous instruction without leaving behind the laid-back, beach-town feel that defines this part of Orange County. It's a great fit for parents who want strong fundamentals in English, math, and science while raising kids in a community where the Pacific is never more than a few miles away.
