Santa Fe Computer Science Magnet

Tucked into the foothill community of Monrovia — a laid-back San Gabriel Valley city known for its tree-lined streets and small-town feel despite being minutes from Pasadena — Santa Fe Computer Science Magnet draws middle schoolers who are curious about technology and ready to dig into something a little different than a traditional school experience. As a district magnet, it pulls in families from across Monrovia Unified who want their kids exposed to computer science concepts woven into everyday learning, making it a solid fit for households where coding and problem-solving are dinner-table conversations. Scores sit right around the middle of the pack statewide, so this is less about chasing rankings and more about finding a focused, theme-driven environment during those formative middle school years.
