Welcome To
El Rancho Unified School District

Our Future
is
Learner-Centered

Our North Star.

Modernizing our campuses to create opportunities for growth and success.

Recognizing a deep need for improvements in their school facilities, El Rancho USD partnered with LPA Design Studios to create a Facilities Master Plan.

The Facilities Master Plan process included assessments of the existing school facility conditions to develop an understanding of anticipated long-range needs for the campuses to support the educational vision. Coupled with the educational program vision, a strategic master plan was developed for each site to address their needs. The Facilities Master Plan aligns with the District’s Mission, Vision, and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals.

At the outset of the process, the District Leadership team defined the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholder participant groups comprised of a Steering Committee, individual School Site Committees, and Focus Group interviews with specialized topic representatives.

Our Vision.

Inspiring learners to thrive in an ever-changing world.

The Facilities Master Plan aligns our Strategic Plan 2018-2023, LCAP Goals and educational programs to advance and build equitable facilities, creating inclusive, safe and welcoming learning environments dedicated to supporting equitable access to engage socially, emotionally and academically for all. The recommendations included in the plan are reflective of:

  • Modernization and upgraded learning environments to reflect changes in education and aging facilities
  • Improved and safer vehicular and pedestrian access to campuses
  • New flexible furniture to support multiple modes of learning
  • Shaded outdoor learning spaces to extend learning opportunities outside
  • Additional student support spaces such as Wellness Centers and counseling offices
  • Additional labs for Career Technical Education and elective courses

Our Approach

Prioritizing projects to have the most impact for equitable learning environments.

Over the next decade, ERUSD student enrollment is projected to decline at some campuses yet grow at others.  The 2029/2030 forecasted enrollment from a 7-year Student Population Projection report by Schoolworks, Inc. was used facility master planning purposes. Actual school capacity and enrollment may vary as the District considers school boundary adjustments, enrollment changes, school programs, and other factors. The District will need to consider these factors as it moves into the implementation plan.
“The Facilities Master Plan is a road map for how the built environment can support ERUSD's future path for our students, who will go on to shape the world with El Rancho Unified as their foundation.”
