Located in Midtown Sacramento, we are a STEAM focused public school that centers Project Based Learning (PBL) as the method of instruction. We implement PBL in an innovative way that focuses on the students/community that we serve. We realize that it takes a broader community to support student learning and growth. As our teachers begin to design their PBL units, they are looking for authentic problems that their learners can address as they move from transferring knowledge to transforming knowledge to address real world problems. In addition to our shift in the instructional practice we will be focusing on supporting and developing our learners in areas of their Social and Emotional Learning.

Re-opened in 2016, Washington is the second oldest elementary school in the Sacramento City Unified School District. We want to continue to acknowledge the past accomplishments and experiences of the school and Midtown community while also forging a new identity that best meets the changing needs of our students and community.
