School Overview

Sheldon Elementary sits in the rolling hills of the El Sobrante area of Richmond, a neighborhood that feels a bit removed from the busier parts of the Bay Area and has a strong sense of established community. The school serves families who are rooted in this corner of Contra Costa County, and its science scores show some genuine bright spots even as English and math remain areas of active growth. Families drawn here tend to be deeply connected to the neighborhood itself, and those who get involved in supporting the school community can help shape what the experience looks like for their kids.
