About Guadalupe Union School District

The Guadalupe Union School District is a TK-8 district located on the beautiful California Central Coast, approximately 70 miles north of Santa Barbara and 32 miles south of San Luis Obispo. The City of Guadalupe is in Santa Barbara County and has a population of approximately 7,000 residents. Guadalupe lies in the rural farming section of the greater Santa Maria Valley, with agriculture as the largest industry in and around the city. The district's mission states that "The Guadalupe Union School District will provide each student the academic, social, and technological skills that will prepare them for a successful high school experience.

In collaboration with parents and community, we will assist our students in becoming independent thinkers, lifelong learners, college and career oriented, and responsible, productive members of society.” There are two school sites in the district: Mary Buren Elementary School hosts approximately 730 students in Preschool through Grade 4, and Kermit McKenzie Intermediate School has 550 students in Grades 5-8. In 2022-23, the unduplicated count of English Learner, Low-Income, and Foster Youth students is approximately 90% of the student population. 51.87% of students are English Learners, most having Spanish as their primary language and a small number (2.3%) of students with Mixteco as their heritage language. The District proudly offers a growing bilingual dual language immersion program in grades TK-8, advancing English and Spanish biliteracy and biculturalism.
