Editing Escalon, California (section)

==Education==
In 1963, representatives from eight component districts (Burwood, Collegeville, Dent Union, Escalon Union High, Farmington, Four Tree, Lone Tree, and Van Allen) began a series of six meetings commissioned by their component boards to explore the concept of creating one unified school district to serve the educational needs of these districts. They recommended to the County Superintendent of Schools that the eight districts form a unified district. The San Joaquin County Board of Education approved this proposal in October 1964.
 
On February 24, 1965, a public hearing was held on the proposal in the Escalon High School library. An election day of March 8, 1966, was designated by County Superintendent Gaylord Nelson. Voters approved the unification and on March 15, 1966, the San Joaquin Board of Supervisors created what would soon become the Escalon Unified School District, effective July 1, 1967.
 
The Escalon Unified School District is made up of 4 elementary schools (Collegeville Dual Language Immersion, Dent, Farmington and Van Allen), one middle school (El Portal), one comprehensive high school (Escalon High), one continuation high school (Vista), and one charter school (Escalon Charter Academy/Gateway Home School).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.escalonusd.org/|title=Escalon Unified School District|website=www.escalonusd.org}}</ref>
