Bardin Elementary

Bardin Elementary sits in the heart of Salinas, a working-class agricultural city in the Monterey Bay area known for its deep Latino roots and tight-knit family communities. The school serves a neighborhood where many families are connected to the region's farming industry, and while academic scores reflect the real challenges that come with serving a high-need population, the school is part of the Alisal Union District's broader effort to support students who are often learning English alongside core subjects. Families rooted in this community who want a school that reflects their culture and neighbors will find Bardin embedded in the everyday life of east Salinas.
