Buellton Union Elementary

Located in the heart of Buellton, California, at 301 Second Street, the Buellton Union Elementary School District serves as a primary educational anchor within the Santa Maria-Santa Barbara metropolitan region. Defined geographically as a distant town setting, this traditional public school district operates two academic campuses dedicated to serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade. With a total enrollment of 545 students—comprising 286 male and 259 female learners—the district fosters a diverse learning environment. Its student body brings together 283 Hispanic, 206 White, and 41 multiracial students, alongside smaller representations of Asian, Black, and American Indian learners, creating a rich community culture centered around early childhood and middle-grades growth.

To ensure comprehensive academic and personal development for its student body, the district relies on a substantial professional team. Buellton Union Elementary employs nearly 53 full-time equivalent teachers alongside 19 instructional aides who deliver direct, small-group and classroom support. The teaching faculty is bolstered by roughly 80 support staff members managing administrative, health, and operational needs, contributing to a total staffing framework of over 151 full-time equivalent employees. This well-resourced operational environment enables the district to maintain a low student-to-staff ratio, providing tailored guidance and strong foundational education for local families and students.
