Sunkist Elementary

Sunkist Elementary sits in the heart of La Puente, a tight-knit working-class community in the San Gabriel Valley where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school serves a largely Latino community and, like many schools in Bassett Unified, is working to build stronger academic outcomes — making it a better fit for families who are actively involved in their child's learning and willing to supplement at home. La Puente itself is affordable by Los Angeles standards, with a genuine neighborhood feel, and families who engage closely with teachers here often find a caring and committed staff.
