About Vista del Mar Union

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

Vista del Mar Union School District, established in 1923, is a single-school district located in the unincorporated area of Gaviota, approximately 30 miles north of scenic Santa Barbara on the central coast of California. The District Office and its K-8 school, Vista de Las Cruces, are surrounded by foothills covered with twisting sycamore and oak trees and fragrant coastal sage. The school and its surrounding communities embrace the valley's rich history into its curriculum, providing a warm atmosphere and creative educational experience for each of its students.
