Neighborhood

Aptly named, Mid-City is in the heart of it all. This Santa Monica neighborhood is flanked by Pacific Palisades to the north and Ocean Park to the south. The western edge of the neighborhood is a mere block from the famous Santa Monica Pier, a fantastic destination where something is always happening, from live concerts to festivals to events like Odd Market at Santa Monica Pier Holiday Show. Mid-City is located between Wilshire Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard. Santa Monica Boulevard -- part of historic Route 66 -- is lined with shops, restaurants, and office buildings.

In addition to the Santa Monica Pier, residents of Mid-City enjoy fast access to the Original Muscle Beach, the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, and Santa Monica State Beach, an iconic three-mile stretch of beach with mountain views and walking paths. Pacific Park, located near the Pier, is home to Santa Monica's famous Ferris wheel as well as roller coasters, amusement rides, food stands, and games.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
