The Robla area is served by the Robla School District for K-8 and by Twin Rivers for 9–12. The [[Natomas, Sacramento, California|Natomas]] region is served by the Natomas Unified School District. The Campus Commons area and the small portions of the Sierra Oaks neighborhood that fall into the city of Sacramento are served by the San Juan Unified School District.
