Serrano residents have many options when it comes to quality education at all levels. The public elementary, middle, and high schools serving Serrano consistently place within the top 10 percent of all California schools, according to the California Academic Performance Index (API).

Students attending public elementary and middle schools are either in the Buckeye Union School District or the Rescue Union School District. (The school district boundaries run through the Serrano community.)

The Buckeye Union School District has two onsite Serrano elementary schools and an onsite middle school. These schools operate on a year-round schedule. Buckeye and Rescue also have traditional-year schools that may be open to Serrano students. Please check with the school district if you are interested in traditional-year schools.

All Serrano high school students are within the El Dorado Union High School District. Most public high school students attend Oak Ridge High School, adjacent to the Serrano community. Effective with the fall 2006 school year, some of the new homes being built within Serrano will fall within the attendance area for Ponderosa High School in Shingle Springs.
