School Overview

Tucked into the hills of Belmont — a quiet, family-friendly city sitting comfortably between San Francisco and Silicon Valley — Central Elementary is about as strong academically as a public elementary school gets, with top-percentile scores across English, math, and science. The Belmont-Redwood Shores district attracts a lot of tech-connected families who prioritize rigorous academics, and Central reflects that community well. If you're settling into the mid-Peninsula and want a neighborhood school where expectations are high and the results back it up, this one is hard to overlook.
