With an almost unheard-of-in-California Walk Score of 95, the treasure that is downtown San Mateo is always just steps away. Shop the shops, become a regular at a restaurant, and taste every season at the year-round Farmer's Market at the College of San Mateo. The Caltrain and major highways are easy access too, but around here walking is really where it's at. One day you can host a barbeque pool party that ends with a viewing of Ghostbusters in a lavish 16-seat personal surround-sound movie theater and the next day you can get your Zen on down at the San Mateo Japanese Garden and Tea House. Metropolitan is a recipient of the PCBC’s Gold Nugget Merit Award for architectural design and when you live here, you'll quickly understand why.

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.
