Elkhorn Elementary

Elkhorn Elementary sits in Castroville, a small agricultural town on the northern edge of Monterey County known as the "Artichoke Capital of the World" — a community with deep farming roots and a tight-knit, working-class character. The school serves a predominantly Latino population reflective of the surrounding farmworker community, and families here tend to be deeply connected to the land and to each other. While academic scores run below state averages, families drawn to a close community feel and a school embedded in the cultural fabric of a truly unique California town will find Elkhorn a familiar and welcoming place.
