Shannon Elementary

Shannon Elementary sits in the quiet, working-class city of Pinole, tucked along the eastern shores of San Pablo Bay where the suburban sprawl of the East Bay gives way to a more relaxed, small-town feel. The school performs right around the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid neighborhood option for families already rooted in the community who value stability and a familiar local environment. Families drawn to Pinole's relatively affordable housing and its proximity to both Richmond and Hercules will find Shannon a reasonable fit, particularly if they're engaged parents willing to supplement at home and get involved in the school community.
