Cabrillo Elementary

Tucked into the coastal fog of Pacifica, Cabrillo Elementary offers a solid K-8 experience that keeps kids rooted in one community from kindergarten all the way through middle school — a rare continuity that families tend to love. Sitting in the 74th percentile statewide, it punches above the typical expectations for a beach-town school, with science scores that stand out even among higher-ranked peers. Pacifica itself has a laid-back, surf-town character that attracts families who want proximity to the Bay Area without the intensity of San Francisco or Silicon Valley, and Cabrillo fits that vibe well — a grounded, community-feel school in a town that genuinely values its neighborhood identity.
