Summary:

The Cabrillo Unified school district serves coastal communities like Half Moon Bay with seven schools spanning grades K-12, showing a mix of high performance and significant challenges across its campuses.

Standout elementary schools include Farallone View Elementary, which consistently achieves high test scores and has the lowest chronic absenteeism in its group, and the very small Kings Mountain Elementary, which boasts the highest English proficiency rate in the district. In contrast, Alvin S. Hatch Elementary faces considerable academic challenges, with proficiency rates notably lower than other elementary schools in the district.

The district's only middle school, Manuel F. Cunha Intermediate, shows average performance, while Half Moon Bay High presents a complex picture with very strong graduation rates but concerning test scores and high chronic absenteeism. The alternative Pilarcitos Alternative High (Continuation) serves a high-need population with much lower graduation rates, highlighting a distinct set of outcomes within the same district.
