Our Mission

The San Lucas Union Elementary School District’s highly trained and effective staff, in partnership with our students, their parents, and the community, will provide each student with the most appropriate educational opportunities in a safe, secure environment so that all students can achieve their full potential as contributing members of society both locally and globally. 

School Profile 

San Lucas School is a rural, agriculturally based district, with a population of typically 70-75 students in grades TK-8. Approximately 85% of San Lucas students are Hispanic and 15% are American Indian, Pacific Islander, White, or two or more races. We provide all students with free breakfast and lunch. We are a School-Wide Title I school, and work hard to provide a free and appropriate education to students of all learning needs. The cultural and ethnic diversity of our student population presents both a challenge and opportunity in striving towards our District’s goals and objectives. 

San Lucas School offers an average of 352 instructional minutes for students in grades 4 thru 8. We schedule eight minimum days per year, mostly for computing final grades and parent conferences. The school year consists of 180 days. We also offer an afterschool program through the After School Education and Safety (ASES) grant. The school is located approximately 40 miles north of Paso Robles, and 10 miles south of King City. 

The district was established in 1900, and the main building was constructed in the mid-1930’s, with other additions completed in the mid to late 1950’s. The main building was modernized in 1992/93, and again in 2013. During the summer of 2017, the school completed a Proposition 39 Energy Efficiency project to update the HVAC units on the main building, external and internal lighting, and smart thermostats. 

The current school facilities include a main building which consists of three classrooms, a resource room/ intervention room, a multipurpose room with stage, curriculum room, kitchen, and school offices. Six portables house an additional classroom, a library, a staff room, the after school program, and the school makerspace. Multiple grades are taught in each classroom. Bus facilities and large playground areas complete the school setting. The school has a 1:1 technology device to all students.
