SAN PASQUAL VALLEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

San Pasqual Valley Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the San Pasqual Valley Unified school district, located in Winterhaven, CA with about 334 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, San Pasqual Valley Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

San Pasqual Valley Elementary, located in the rural community of Winterhaven, California, serves as the primary educational facility for the San Pasqual Valley Unified School District.
