School Overview

R.J. Neutra Elementary School, located on the Naval Air Station (N.A.S.) in Lemoore, California, serves as a vital educational institution for the children of military families stationed at the base. Part of the Central Union School District, the school is named after the renowned modernist architect Richard Neutra. Because of its unique location within a federal installation, the school community is tightly knit, characterized by a deep understanding of the transient and often demanding lifestyle associated with military service.

The school is dedicated to providing a supportive and stable environment that prioritizes academic excellence while addressing the specific social-emotional needs of military-connected students. R.J. Neutra emphasizes character development and resilience, fostering a culture where students learn to adapt to new environments and challenges. By integrating standard academic curricula with programs designed to support students during deployments or frequent relocations, the school plays a crucial role in maintaining educational continuity and stability for the families of those serving in the U.S. Navy.
