Santa Rosa Road Academic Academy

Tucked into Atascadero's quiet hillside neighborhoods along the Central Coast, Santa Rosa Road Academic Academy serves the younger grades in a district that's working hard to grow its academic profile. Families who value small-town California living — think oak-studded hills, a tight-knit community, and easy access to both the coast and wine country — tend to appreciate the school's science program, which outpaces its English and math scores and gives kids a solid foundation in that area. It's a good fit for families planting roots in Atascadero who want to be involved and engaged in helping their school community develop.
