Welcome to the Waugh Elementary School District
Petaluma, founded in 1858, a semi-rural city of approximately 50,000 people, is located 45 miles north of San Francisco along Highway 101 in Sonoma County. Petaluma is an old California city with dairies, poultry producers, farms and ranches, and a new wave of technologically-based industries such as Broderbund Software, Advanced Fiber Communications, and Cisco Systems. There are seven school districts in the Petaluma area. Meadow School and Corona Creek School are within the Waugh School District, and serves 890 children in grades kindergarten through six.
The district had grown from 100 to 900 students in the last twelve years. The district has a population that is approximately 85% Caucasian, 12% Hispanic, and 3% other ethnic representation. Approximately 10% of the population receives free lunch, while the remainder are middle to upper-middle class students.
The Waugh School District is a wonderful place for the entire school community - especially children. Parents and Board members can be overheard in local stores talking about the most recent exciting events at Meadow or Corona Creek Schools.
