School Overview

Kashia Elementary, located on the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians reservation in Stewarts Point, California, is a small, unique public school that serves a tight-knit rural community. As a member of the Point Arena Schools District, the school is deeply integrated into the cultural and historical landscape of the Kashia Pomo people. Its remote setting along the scenic but rugged Sonoma County coast provides students with a distinct educational environment that emphasizes small class sizes and a personalized approach to learning.

Because of its isolated location and low enrollment, the school acts as a vital hub for the local community, often balancing traditional academic curricula with a strong focus on student well-being and local identity. The school’s operation reflects the challenges and rewards of rural education, requiring a collaborative effort between the district, families, and tribal members to provide consistent resources. For students at Kashia Elementary, the educational experience is defined by close relationships with instructors and a connection to the natural beauty and heritage of the North Coast.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
