Stoneman Elementary

Stoneman Elementary sits in Pittsburg, a working-class waterfront city on the eastern edge of Contra Costa County where the San Joaquin River meets the Delta — a community with deep roots and a tight-knit feel that doesn't always get the attention of its wealthier neighbors to the west. Academics here are a challenge, with math and English scores in the lower percentiles, so families who prioritize strong school performance may want to look carefully and consider supplementing at home or through tutoring. That said, for families already rooted in Pittsburg who value community connection and want to stay close to their neighborhood, Stoneman can be a familiar, accessible home base for the early school years.
