School Overview

Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle sits in the heart of Hayward, a working-class East Bay city that often gets overshadowed by its flashier neighbors but has a strong sense of community and deep cultural roots. Serving seventh and eighth graders, the school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with science being a relative bright spot — a good sign for families with kids who lean toward hands-on, analytical learning. It's a natural fit for families rooted in the Hayward community who value a school that reflects the real diversity of the Bay Area.
