School Overview

Los Banos is a Central Valley agricultural town where community ties run deep and families tend to put down roots for generations — but Lorena Falasco Elementary faces some real academic headwinds, with test scores sitting well below state averages across English, math, and science. That said, for families in this part of Merced County, the school offers a familiar neighborhood feel and a close-knit environment that can matter just as much as rankings. Families who want stronger academic outcomes may want to explore tutoring resources or stay closely engaged with teachers to help their kids build on what's happening in the classroom.
