Get to Know Walnut Heights Elementary

Walnut Heights Elementary School, nestled in the foothills of Mount Diablo, enjoys the 3-acre Nature Area adjacent to the Walnut Creek Open Space. This natural setting provides the backdrop to the school that serves approximately 400 students and their families in transitional kindergarten (TK) through fifth grade. Built in 1952 and modernized in 1998, the school district added outdoor learning areas, enlarged playground and a new amphitheater in past years. Bond monies provide continuous improvement of the school site.
