About
Shaffer Elementary School's dedicated staff supports a student population of nearly 500 students in grades PK-5. We are the Pioneers
Originally built in 1980, the school is named for John C. Shaffer, the first owner of Ken Caryl Ranch which was named for his sons Kent and Carroll. The current school which sits just south of the original was rebuilt over the summer of 1998 and re-opened for the 1998-1999 school year.
