School Overview

Gault Elementary sits in the eastern side of Santa Cruz, a city where the beach culture, redwood forests, and a strong sense of community all blend together in a way that's pretty unique to this stretch of the California coast. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, making it a reasonable neighborhood option for families in the 95062 zip code who value a well-rounded public school experience without the pressure of a hyper-competitive environment. It tends to appeal to families who are rooted in the local community and appreciate the laid-back, outdoorsy Santa Cruz lifestyle just as much as the classroom.
