Walnut Creek Intermediate

Tucked into the leafy, trail-lined suburbs of Walnut Creek, this intermediate school serves the stretch of middle school years with consistently strong academics across English, math, and science — the kind of well-rounded performance that reflects a community that takes education seriously. Families who settle in Walnut Creek tend to be drawn by the downtown's walkability, easy BART access to the Bay Area, and a neighborhood feel that's suburban without feeling sleepy. For kids navigating the jump from elementary to high school, this is a solid and supportive place to do it.
