What school district is Don Benito Fundamental part of?
We''ve been part of the Don Benito school and community for seven years. Our youngest is currently in third grade. Living in Upper Hastings Ranch, it has been great to support our home school. The partnerships we have had with teachers, administration, and principals in service of our children''s education have been strong. The diversity of the school across multiple spectrums has been one the most important reasons we continue to stay. Across a range of ethnicities, social-economic backgrounds, and cultures, this community comes together. We build networks, partnerships, and friendships that all stem from the education and development of our children. I have and will continue to recommend Don Benito as a school to attend!
