Cipriani Elementary

Cipriani Elementary sits in the heart of Belmont, a quietly confident mid-Peninsula town that often flies under the radar compared to its flashier neighbors like Palo Alto or San Mateo. Families here tend to be deeply invested in education, and it shows — Cipriani consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with standout performance across English, math, and science. If you're looking for a strong academic foundation in a tight-knit, suburban community where kids can still ride bikes to school, Belmont's blend of hills, good weather, and excellent public schools makes it a genuinely appealing place to put down roots.
