Oakbrook Academy of the Arts

Oakbrook Academy of the Arts brings a creative focus to the heart of Fairfield, a city that sits squarely between the Bay Area and Sacramento — close enough to both to feel connected, but with its own distinct, no-frills community vibe. The arts-integrated approach here draws families who want something beyond a traditional elementary experience, especially for kids who thrive when learning is tied to creativity and expression. Scores land right around the middle of the pack statewide, making this a solid choice for families more focused on a well-rounded, arts-enriched environment than on academic rankings alone.
