Parkside Elementary

Parkside Elementary sits in Pittsburg, a working-class Delta city at the eastern edge of Contra Costa County where the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers meet — a community with deep roots and a strong sense of local pride. The school serves a largely low-income, diverse population, and while its academic scores fall in the lower range statewide, it can be a solid option for families who value community connection and want a neighborhood school close to home. Families who get involved and advocate for their kids tend to find a welcoming staff and a tight-knit school community that reflects the character of Pittsburg itself.
