Von Renner Elementary

Von Renner Elementary sits in Newman, a small agricultural community in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley where life moves at a slower pace and neighbors tend to know each other by name. The school serves a close-knit student body, and families here are drawn to that tight community feel — though academic scores currently land in the lower third statewide, with science in particular an area where there's room to grow. For families putting down roots in Newman's affordable, farm-country setting, Von Renner offers a familiar small-town school experience within a district that has room to continue developing its academic programs.
