Eugene Field Elementary in Hastings Ranch sits on the divide between Upper and Lower Hastings. It is an award-winning school that offers several programs for children of all ages, including quality pre-K and after-school programs like the City of Pasadena Adventure Program. Eugene Field offers many unique programs. As a sister school to an elementary school in Beijing, parents can opt for a 90/10 bilingual Mandarin-English program for grades K-5 and after-school Mandarin enrichment programs. Through the farm-to-school program, children learn how to grow produce and make healthier choices using the school's 12,000 square foot vegetable garden and 30-tree fruit orchard. The Pasadena Unified School District has a school choice program that zones residents to neighborhood schools. Along with Don Benito Fundamental, Eugene Field is a neighborhood school for Hastings Ranch residents and is only available by lottery for students outside its boundaries. The parent community at Eugene Field is extremely involved with a 400-member PTA and an annual fund to support technology initiatives, library services and other crucial programs for children's education.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
