About schools in San Mateo County
Half of San Mateo County's ranked public schools land in the top quartile statewide — a proportion that sets this Peninsula county apart from virtually anywhere else in California. Spread across 24 districts and 153 schools, the landscape ranges from urban Daly City to smaller communities like San Carlos and Belmont, where schools such as Arundel Elementary and Central Elementary both score at the 100th percentile statewide. North Star Academy in Redwood City matches that mark as well. With strong performers concentrated across multiple cities rather than isolated in one pocket, families throughout the county have realistic access to genuinely high-performing neighborhood schools at both the elementary and high school levels.
