Washington Elementary

Mendota is a small, tight-knit agricultural community in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, and Washington Elementary reflects that close community feel for its youngest learners. The school shows more strength in math than English, which is worth keeping in mind for families who want to supplement early literacy at home. It's a good fit for families rooted in Mendota who value a neighborhood school where everyone knows each other, and where the surrounding farming community shapes the culture of everyday life.
