School Overview

Capuchino High sits in San Bruno, a working-class city tucked between San Francisco and the peninsula's tech corridor — a community with deep roots and a lot of hustle. The school draws a genuinely diverse student body and punches above its weight in science, which makes it a solid fit for families with kids who lean toward STEM or hands-on learning. It's not the flashiest school on the peninsula, but San Bruno's down-to-earth character and reasonable housing costs make it an appealing landing spot for families who want proximity to the Bay Area's opportunities without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of some neighboring districts.
