School Overview

Buttonwillow is a small agricultural town in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley, where the community is tight-knit and everyone knows everyone.

Families who value small-town stability and a close community connection — and who are willing to stay engaged in their child's education — will find a school where their involvement can make a real difference.
