Los Molinos Elementary School

Los Molinos Elementary School serves students from Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through 8th grade and is located just 15 miles south of Red Bluff in the small, rural farming community of Los Molinos. We are one of three schools in the Los Molinos Unified School District.

As a School-Wide Title I school, we offer specialized programs focused on reading and language arts acquisition to support all learners. Our dedication to academic excellence has been recognized over the years—Los Molinos Elementary was named a Title I Academic Achievement School in 2005, 2008, 2011, and 2012, and honored as a California Distinguished School in 2012.

We are proud of our students’ continued academic growth and our efforts to close the achievement gap. Our progress is reflected in the improvement of our Academic Performance Index (API), which has reached 872. Los Molinos Elementary is an Achieving School, supported by a dedicated staff, strong family and community involvement, and a shared commitment to student success.

 

Los Molinos Elementary was built in 1962, and our school facilities remain a priority for ongoing improvements.

Recently, the playground was enhanced by replacing the pea gravel with recycled shredded rubber, creating a safer and more comfortable play area for our students. Each year, the California Department of Forestry (CDF) collaborates with our grounds crew to assist with important maintenance and improvements around campus.

Thanks to the efforts of our Parent Booster Club, the playground has also seen significant upgrades, including the replacement and repainting of the wall ball walls and basketball backboards. In addition, the Booster Club has contributed by purchasing an electronic marquee that welcomes families at the front of the school.

While our buildings reflect their rich history, they are well-maintained and cared for.
