About

Chualar School was first erected in 1908! It was reconstructed in 1980. Your school was named after your town, Chualar.  Chualar is believed to be the Native American word for the abundant and native herb: Goosefoot. This plant could possibly be Chenopodium Californicum, the California Goosefoot, also known as Pigweed.

Chualar is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in the Salinas Valley of Monterey County, California, United States. Chualar is located 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Salinas,[6] at an elevation of 115 feet (35 m).[4] The population was 1,185 at the 2020 census.[5]. U.S. Route 101 runs along the southwest side of the community, leading northwest to Salinas and southeast 16 miles (26 km) to Soledad.  According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2), all of it land.[3]

Only 234 Students!
With approximately 234 students we are able to give a more focused attention to ALL our students. We boast an average of 20 students per teacher, campus supervisors, classroom aides, and various support staff to support our students and community. 

Our Goal
ALL children can learn given a nurturing, enriched environment with a sense of belonging (family-like atmosphere) that is child-centered and compatible with how the brain learns. We can help children rise to high levels of expectations by striving for excellence and quality. The goal is to help students become LIFELONG-LEARNERS who will be contributing members of our democratic society.

School Wide Expectations​ and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

Our PBIS School Wide Expectations

Chualar Chargers are expected to be RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, and SAFE!

Four Basic School Values
Chualar School expect students to maintain high standards of personal conduct. The FOUR BASIC SCHOOL VALUES and the STUDENT'S CODE OF ETHICS are the cornerstone of students being successful citizens of our school. Students who experience a problem are expected to immediately report the problem to any adult on campus so a solution can be worked out. 

​All students, parents, and staff of our school will be expected to adhere to the following basic values: ​

  • Learning takes precedence over any other activity in school. 
  • Don't interfere with anyone's education, including your own. ​
  • Respect property: Yours, the School'​s, and other People's. 
  • Treat yourself and everyone else with respect and courtesy.
