City and Public School Information

Finding an appropriate public school for your child's individual needs can be a very important part of your home buying decision. This section provides links to the major primary and high schood districts from Millbrae in the north to Los Gatos in the south.

You should start your search by talking to friends, neighbors and me, your real estate professional, then use these resources for more detailed research.

Please be careful about assumptions of which school district a home you choose falls into. Many boundries are not aligned with city or county boundries, so you need to research each address. I can do this for you.

Primary school districts below cover grades K-8, and high school districts cover grades 9-12. Primary school districts in San Mateo and Santa Clara are all organized differently in terms of how elementary and middle school grades are split up.

I make every effort to keep this page accurate and current, but do not guarantee any information contained below.
