Santa Rita Elementary School

Where We All Learn And Grow

About SRES

Welcome to Santa Rita Elementary School! Santa Rita serves Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade in the Santa Rita Union School District.  Initially just a two room school, Santa Rita Elementary School began providing educational programs to students in Salinas, California in 1871. In 1939, it was replaced with a seven room school to accommodate the needs of a growing population.  In 1958, it became a 19-classroom school, and by 1962, all classrooms ran a double session until the opening of La Joya Elementary in 1963.  Today the school has an enrollment of approximately 550 students in grades TK-5.
