School Overview

Tucked into the coastal hills of Malibu, this middle school serves a tight-knit community where beach culture and high expectations coexist pretty naturally — students here score well above average in science, which makes sense for a place where the ocean is practically a classroom backdrop. Families drawn to Malibu's laid-back but affluent lifestyle will find a school that matches the community's investment in education, with strong across-the-board academics in a setting that feels far removed from the sprawl of greater Los Angeles. If you're raising kids in one of the most scenic zip codes in California, Malibu Middle offers a genuinely solid academic foundation to go along with the lifestyle.
