Springville Elementary

Nestled in the small Sierra Nevada foothill town of Springville, this K-8 school serves a tight-knit rural community where everybody knows everybody — the kind of place where teachers follow students from the early grades all the way through middle school. With scores right around the state middle ground and a slight edge in science, it's a solid option for families who've chosen the quiet mountain lifestyle of the Tule River corridor over the bustle of bigger Central Valley cities. If you're settling into Springville for the outdoor access, the community feel, and the slower pace, this school fits naturally into that picture.
