Cutler Elementary

Cutler is a small agricultural community in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley, where the tight-knit, working-class roots of the town are very much reflected in the school. Cutler Elementary serves a largely Latino, Spanish-speaking population, and families here tend to be deeply community-oriented and invested in their kids' futures despite the economic challenges that come with life in this part of the valley. For families rooted in Cutler who want a school that knows their kids by name and reflects the culture of the community, this is a familiar and comfortable home base — though families with strong academic priorities may want to stay engaged and supplement at home, particularly in science.
