Summary:
The Buellton Union Elementary district consists of two schools, Oak Valley Elementary (grades K-5) and Jonata Middle (grades 6-8), serving a total of 545 students in the Buellton, California area.
Both schools in the district perform significantly above the California state average in English, math, and science, which is a notable achievement.
