Welcome To King City Union School District
Good Things are Happening in Education at King City Union School District
King City Union School District is a K-8 public school district with an enrollment of approximately 2500 students. Currently we have three K-5 elementary schools: Del Rey, Santa Lucia and King City Arts Magnet. Chalone Peaks is our middle school with grades 6-8th. With our professional and highly qualified teaching staff, our district continues to focus on teaching the California State Standards. Over the last few years, our district has made considerable growth and continues to achieve a higher improvement rate than the Monterey County average and this last year even higher than the California State average. Currently two of our elementary schools have produced an API of 800 and above. King City Arts Magnet teaches the California State Standards with an emphasis on the arts. Our middle school has started an honors program, offering advanced classes in language arts, math, science and social sciences. We believe that all students can achieve!
