School Overview

Tucked into the quiet, tree-lined streets of San Carlos — a small city on the Peninsula that locals affectionately call "The City of Good Living" — Arroyo serves fourth and fifth graders as part of a tight-knit district known for its strong sense of community. Academic performance here is consistently impressive across English, math, and science, making it a great fit for families who want rigorous elementary education without the pressure-cooker feel of some neighboring Silicon Valley districts. San Carlos itself has a walkable, small-town charm with easy Caltrain access, and the kind of neighborhood where kids actually ride bikes to school.
