For all its wonders, California consistently ranks near the bottom of per-pupil funding in the country, forcing its public schools to seek out extra resources to ensure a high quality education for their students. George Peabody Elementary School is no different. We depend heavily on our families, friends and community partners. With the exception of our time in distance learning, our community has logged nearly 5,000 parent volunteer hours and raised over $400,000 per year, bridging the gap between state and local funding and the resources needed to give our students the excellent education they deserve.
