School Overview

Tucked into the Sierra Nevada foothills, Union Hill Elementary is a small charter school that draws families who appreciate the close-knit feel of Grass Valley's mountain community. Sitting solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, it offers a well-rounded academic experience across English, math, and science — a good fit for families who value a grounded, community-connected education over a high-pressure environment. Grass Valley itself has a charming Gold Rush-era downtown, a strong arts scene, and an outdoorsy lifestyle that tends to attract parents looking for something a little off the beaten path from the Bay Area or Sacramento suburbs.
