School Overview

San Carlos is one of those quietly charming Peninsula towns that families move to specifically for the schools, and Mariposa is a big reason why. As a dedicated 4th and 5th grade campus, it offers something genuinely unique — a focused, transitional experience between the early elementary years and middle school, with academics that rank among the very best in California. Families who value strong math and science foundations, a tight-knit school community, and the walkable, small-town feel of San Carlos will find a lot to love here.
