School Overview

Tucked into the agricultural heart of the San Joaquin Valley, Westside Union Elementary sits in Los Banos, a tight-knit Central California community where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school lands right in the middle of the pack statewide, with slightly stronger English scores than math, making it a reasonable fit for families looking for a solid neighborhood school with a grounded, community feel. Los Banos itself has a small-town character with easy access to the outdoors — think San Luis Reservoir nearby and wide open spaces — appealing to families who value a quieter pace of life over urban hustle.
