School Overview

Half Moon Bay is one of those coastal towns that feels a world away from the Silicon Valley hustle, and Cunha Intermediate reflects that same unhurried, tight-knit character. Science scores stand out here, which makes sense for kids growing up alongside the Pacific — there's something to be said for a school where marine and environmental curiosity feels natural. Families drawn to a slower pace, strong community ties, and a middle school experience that isn't swallowed up by suburban sprawl will find Cunha a comfortable fit.
