Intro
District owned property: 88 Acres
The project is located within the Natomas Unified School District (NUSD), which provides K-12 education, and the Los Rios Community College District (LRCCD), which provides community college education. At the time of Specific Plan approval, the NUSD owned an 85-acre parcel in the Plan Area, and the LRCCD owned a 105-acre parcel, both of which were located along Bryte Bend Road. The ownership of these two parcels allowed an opportunity for the Specific Plan to create an Educational Node along Bryte Bend Road in the northern portion of the Plan Area.
Based on student generation rates (SGRs) for the 2023-24 school year provided by NUSD, the Plan Area is estimated to generate 2,576 K-8 students and
1,063 high-school students, requiring capacity within 3 K-8 schools and 1 high school. The Specific Plan calls for the three K-8 schools to be distributed throughout the Plan Area, adjacent to the planned parks in the Plan Area, to maximize opportunities for shared-use facilities. The high school is planned to be located on the NUSD-owned parcel along Bryte Bend Road and San Juan Road.
Potential Project Costs
While the Upper Westside Project is still in the planning stages, the cost of three K-8 elementary schools and one comprehensive high school is anticipated to cost upwards of $750M to $1B. These costs have not been factored in the 2024 Facility Master Plan at this time, but as the project progresses and is confirmed, the Facility Master Plan will be updated accordingly. The costs are subject to change based on escalation, project scope, and need.

Intro
District Owned Property: 12 Acres
The Arena Site was purchased by NUSD in 2020 to plan for the future growth of NUSD. Based on the size of the property it is anticipated that a new school and ancillary site upgrades may cost upwards of $90M when needed. The cost has not been factored in the 2024 Facility Master Plan at this time, but as the project progresses and is confirmed, the Facility Master Plan will be updated accordingly. The cost is subject to change based on escalation, project scope, and need.
