School Overview

Tucked into one of the Peninsula's most established enclaves, West Hillsborough sits in a community where tree-lined streets, sprawling estates, and a strong sense of civic pride set the tone for daily life. The school consistently performs at the very top of the state in English, math, and science, making it a natural fit for families who prioritize academics and have planted roots in this quiet, affluent pocket between San Mateo and Burlingame. With the Hillsborough City Elementary District's reputation for small class sizes and deeply involved parent communities, West Hillsborough feels less like a public school and more like a neighborhood institution that families genuinely rally around.
