Wildwood Elementary

Tucked into the affluent, tree-lined enclave of Piedmont — a small, independently incorporated city completely surrounded by Oakland — Wildwood Elementary is the kind of school that draws families who prioritize strong academics and an tight-knit community feel. Piedmont is a genuinely unique place to live: it has the energy and walkability of the East Bay while feeling like a small town where parents and teachers actually know each other, and Wildwood reflects that culture well. Families drawn to rigorous academics, involved parent communities, and easy access to everything the greater Oakland area has to offer will find a lot to love here.
