Summer Lake Elementary

Summer Lake Elementary sits in Oakley, a family-friendly East Bay community on the edge of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta where housing is more attainable than in many Bay Area suburbs without feeling far removed from the region's opportunities. The school lands right in the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid neighborhood option for families settling into one of Oakley's newer residential developments near the lake. It's the kind of place that appeals to families putting down roots in a growing community, where the slower pace and outdoor access — think water recreation and open space — are just as much a draw as the school itself.
