Wade Thomas Elementary

Tucked into the charming, tree-lined streets of San Anselmo, Wade Thomas Elementary is exactly the kind of school that makes Marin County families feel like they've landed somewhere special. Academics are genuinely strong across the board — English and math scores consistently rank among the best in California — but the school also carries the close-knit, community feel you'd expect from a small town where neighbors actually know each other. Families who love weekend farmers markets, hiking trails out the back door, and a slower pace than you'd find in the city tend to fall hard for San Anselmo, and Wade Thomas fits that lifestyle perfectly.
