School Overview

Borel Middle sits in the heart of San Mateo, a city that strikes a nice balance between Peninsula suburban comfort and easy access to both San Francisco and Silicon Valley. The school leans particularly strong in science, which fits well in a region where tech-minded families tend to put down roots. Families looking for a solid, well-rounded middle school experience in a diverse, established community will find Borel a comfortable fit for those transitional grades.
