School Overview

Olive Elementary sits in Novato, the largest city in Marin County, where the suburban feel is a bit more relaxed and affordable than the county's southern towns without sacrificing that quintessential Northern California lifestyle. The school shows particular strength in science, which tends to appeal to families who want their kids engaged in hands-on, inquiry-based learning from an early age. It's a solid neighborhood school that fits well for families planting roots in Novato's quieter, more spacious corners of Marin.
