Summary:
The San Lucas Union Elementary district consists of a single, small rural school, San Lucas Elementary, serving 72 students in grades K-8.
This school serves a community with significant economic need, and while its academic performance in subjects like math and English is below the state average, it has shown notable improvement over time, moving from the state's 1st percentile in 2008 to the 8th percentile today. A particular area for attention is the performance of its 5th-grade students. On a positive note, the school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate that is better than the state average, which is a significant achievement given the challenges it faces.
With only one school in the district, resources and strategies can be focused directly on its students. The school's per-student spending is considerably higher than the California average, which may reflect the costs of operating a small, rural school or investments in student support services. For parents, this means your child will attend a very small, close-knit school that is gradually improving and is actively working to support student attendance and engagement.
