School Overview

Tucked into the rolling hills of Novato at the northern edge of Marin County, Sinaloa Middle School offers a solid academic experience with particularly strong science scores that put it among the top performers in the state. Novato itself has a more relaxed, small-town feel compared to the rest of Marin — more approachable in cost and community-oriented in character — making it a great fit for families who want the benefits of Marin County living without the intensity of the closer-in towns. Families who value a well-rounded middle school experience in a grounded, down-to-earth neighborhood will find a lot to like here.
