School Overview

Shaffer Elementary serves the small, rural community of Litchfield in Lassen County, tucked into the high desert of northeastern California where wide open spaces and a tight-knit community define everyday life. As a K-8 school, it offers families a continuous, familiar school experience through the middle grades — something that can be a real comfort in a small town where everyone tends to know everyone. Families drawn to a quieter, rural lifestyle and the kind of close community bonds that come with it will find Shaffer to be a reflection of the town itself.
