Peter Burnett Elementary

Peter Burnett Elementary sits in a working-class Sacramento neighborhood where families are deeply rooted in the community, and the school reflects that same grounded, close-knit spirit. Academic scores are below state averages, so families who prioritize strong academics may want to explore additional support options or supplemental programs outside of school. That said, for families already living in this part of South Sacramento who value a neighborhood school with a familiar, community-centered feel, Burnett can serve as a home base in an area that's steadily evolving with new local investment and civic energy.
