Luther Burbank Elementary School is located in downtown Santa Rosa across from Julliard Park and is named after famed Santa Rosa botanist Luther Burbank. The current school is an art deco-styled building, built in 1940, with new classroom wings added and some remodeling completed in 1999. Today, it's one of the happiest learning environments in the Santa Rosa City Schools District and consistently shows great success with its students academically, socially and emotionally.
