City - Novato

Novato sits at the northern edge of Marin County, where San Pablo Bay meets rolling hills and open space preserves, giving it a character that feels distinctly different from the denser cities to the south. As the largest city in Marin County, it balances a relaxed, small-town atmosphere with easy access to San Francisco via Highway 101. Major employers like BioMarin Pharmaceutical anchor the local economy, and the historic downtown along Grant Avenue draws residents with its walkable mix of locally owned shops, restaurants, and cultural venues including the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art.

Neighborhoods range from tree-lined residential streets near the downtown core to quieter hillside areas on the city's western edge. The housing mix reflects that range, with garden-style apartment communities, townhomes, and single-family rentals spread across the city.

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.
