About Our School

Alice Shaw Elementary School is located in Orcutt, CA. It is a public school that serves approximately 500 students in grades TK-6 following a traditional calendar.

Alice Shaw School is a place where a dedicated staff, supportive parents, and enthusiastic students form a partnership that ensures educational achievement, communication and safety within a rich learning environment!

We are focused on providing a standards-based, challenging curriculum as well as a warm, enriching school environment. Ongoing evaluation of student progress and achievement enables us to refine our instructional program so that all students are challenged to meet their maximum potential. Life skills are targeted and enrichment opportunities are offered to guide children to achieve academic success and acquire positive social skills. Family fun events are regularly scheduled to provide a community atmosphere for our families.

We take great pride in Alice Shaw School and welcome everyone to join in our ongoing efforts to guide students to become responsible, successful citizens and lifelong learners.
