Castle Park Elementary School in Chula Vista serves approximately 390 students in grades K through 6 on Emerson Street, operating as a Title I Schoolwide campus within the Chula Vista Elementary School District since 1980. The Knights mascot represents a character-based framework — thoughtful, caring, truthful, respectful, and responsible — that the school embeds across all grade levels, running parallel to the social-development curricula offered at alternative-model campuses such as Mueller Charter School. Twenty-one teachers at a 21:1 student-teacher ratio deliver California Common Core instruction, with the school's Gifted and Talented Education track providing differentiated coursework for qualifying students. The campus sits within the Castle Park neighborhood of southwest Chula Vista at the 91911 ZIP code, drawing families who also access youth programming and community resources at Heritage Community Center. CVESD's district-wide LEAD Hub operates at the site, offering no-cost before-and-after-school supervision that combines homework time, structured recreation, and enrichment activities for every enrolled TK-through-sixth-grade student.
