Badillo Elementary School was built in 1957. Badillo was named after two brothers, Julian and Antonio Badillo (Badilla). They were coffee bean farmers from Costa Rica who came to Covina to establish a coffee plantation.[1][2][3] Badillo Elementary School is one of ten schools in the Charter Oak Unified School District and is located in the City of Covina in the San Gabriel Valley which is east of Los Angeles.
