SANTA LUCIA MIDDLE SCHOOL

Santa Lucia Middle is a public middle school that is part of the Coast Unified school district, located in Cambria, CA with about 141 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. With about 10 teachers, Santa Lucia Middle has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

Santa Lucia Middle School is located in the coastal community of Cambria, California, serving as the primary middle-level educational institution for the Coast Unified School District. Nestled in a quiet, rural-adjacent setting, the school provides a personalized learning environment that benefits from the tight-knit nature of the Cambria community. It focuses on the developmental needs of students in grades 6 through 8, offering a bridge between the foundational learning of elementary school and the rigorous demands of high school.

The school is known for its commitment to academic growth and student character development. Because of its size, Santa Lucia Middle School is able to maintain smaller class sizes and a supportive atmosphere where teachers can work closely with students. Beyond the core curriculum, the school often leverages its unique Central Coast location to offer extracurricular activities and educational opportunities that reflect the local environment and culture, fostering a sense of community pride and engagement among its student body.
