About Our School
Having rich traditions dating back to 1924, Maple School is the oldest school in the Fullerton School District, located in the southeast corner of the city of Fullerton in the County of Orange. The enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year is 389. Maple School serves students in Grades PK-6, and is one of 20 schools in the Fullerton School District. Ninety-two percent (92%) of our students are Hispanic/Latino, 4% are White, 1.5% are Black/African-American, and 1.5% are Asian. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Maple students qualify for Free-or-Reduced Lunch. The education program at Maple includes 12 regular classroom teachers, a Music Teacher, a Resource Specialist, a Speech and Language teacher, 2.5 RTI Intervention Teachers, and a Physical Education Teacher. We also staff a part-time School Psychologist and counselor. All certificated staff are NCLB qualified, the majority have master's degrees or higher, with supplemental credentials in mathematics, reading, and/or educational technology. State Preschool and Transitional Kindergarten are also offered at Maple.
In the 1960's, Maple School closed for more than 2 decades as a result of mandatory integration, and students were bused to neighboring schools away from their neighbors and friends. After long debates and intense community pressure, Maple School was modernized and reopened in stages, beginning in 2000, to once again represent the hardworking and proud community surrounding the school. This very special community, which fosters intergenerational and community partnerships, was named a Title 1 Academic Achieving School in 2011.
Maple Elementary prepares students to meet the rigor of the Common Core and Next Generation Science State Standards (NGSS) by actively engaging our students through project-based learning and 24-hour access to their iPads through our VIP Plus Program. Currently, all students at Maple have their own iPad issued to them at the beginning of the school year, and all students Grades TK-6 take them home each night. Students at Maple receive personalized instruction, designed to meet their specific needs, in all areas through our Balanced Literacy Program (Reading and Writing Workshop), Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), and our implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards.
In addition to the complex intervention scaffolds we personalize for student success, Maple School hosts the only chapter of the National Elementary Honor Society in the Fullerton School District.
