Washington Elementary

El Centro is a small desert city in the Imperial Valley, close to the U.S.-Mexico border, where tight-knit community roots run deep and schools play a central role in neighborhood life. Washington Elementary serves families in this working-class area, and while its test scores reflect some of the academic challenges common to the region, its science program shows a distinct area of engagement worth noting. Families who are active participants in their child's education and connected to the local community tend to find a school environment here that feels personal and familiar.
