School Overview

Tucked into the quieter, more suburban side of Novato near the wetlands and open space of southern Marin, San Jose Intermediate offers a solid middle school experience in a community that tends to fly under the radar compared to its pricier Marin neighbors. The school leans a bit stronger in math and science than English, making it a comfortable fit for families with kids who gravitate toward STEM subjects. Novato itself has a more grounded, small-town feel compared to the rest of Marin County, and San Jose draws families who appreciate that accessibility without sacrificing the natural beauty and outdoor lifestyle the area is known for.
