Kids in the Cambria subdivision attend the J.O. Combs School District. The Kathryn Sue Simonton Elementary School is located in the Castlegate subdivision. The Jack W Harmon Elementary School is located in the Pecan Creek subdivision. Some kids walk from Cambria to the Harmon school. The Simonton school is too far to walk.

My daughters attend New Vistas Academy , a wonderful private school in Chandler. Their curriculum is focused on reading, writing, math, social studies and science. Children as young as 2 and a half learn how to read. My oldest was reading 3 100+ page books in pre-Kindergarten. I highly recommend the school.
