More to Come Soon!

Our original school Wright Elementary School is a charming public elementary school that serves students in grades TK-6. Between 2009 and 2025, the school operated as a charter school serving TK-8, but transitioned back to traditional public school status beginning with the 2025-26 school year. This exceptional school maintains approximately two classes per grade level, creating an intimate learning environment where supportive staff know each student by name and are well-versed in their individual skills and abilities. The campus features clean facilities with a modern multipurpose room, and the school's playing fields serve the broader community, including a large local Little League organization.

What is our mission for students in kindergarten through sixth grade?

Wright Elementary School seeks to empower students to develop a passion for lifelong learning and to nurture them by engaging their intellect, emotions, and natural curiosity. We seek to instill not only the knowledge, skills and abilities set forward in the California State Standards, but to develop student competence and motivation to use their education responsibly, enriching their own lives and the lives of those in their communities.
