Sara Paxton, an only child, was born in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles. Her mother Lucia (née Menchaca Zuckerman) was born to a Jewish family in Monterrey, Mexico, and raised in Ciudad Acuña. Paxton's father Steve Paxton is of English, Irish, and Scottish descent and has converted to Judaism upon marrying her mother. Both her parents are dentists. Paxton's father is distantly related to actor Bill Paxton.
During her childhood, Paxton put on shows and wanted to perform, sometimes dressing up in costume and coming to school as a particular character. She grew up in the San Fernando Valley, choosing to attend a public high school instead of accepting home-schooling. Paxton graduated from El Camino Real High School in June 2006.
