Summary

Taylor Middle School is a high-performing public middle school serving 756 students in grades 6-8 within the Millbrae Elementary School District, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California schools.

The school excels academically, with student proficiency rates significantly above state averages in English, Math, and Science, and it stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.8%—less than half the state average. This strong performance is achieved efficiently, with per-student spending lower than many neighboring schools like Abbott Middle, which spends more for lower results. Taylor Middle also demonstrates effective support for all students, with particularly high rankings for English Language Learners and students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

Located in a cluster of excellent middle schools, Taylor holds its own against higher-spending neighbors such as Burlingame Intermediate and Crocker Middle. Its ability to deliver balanced excellence across all subjects and maintain a highly engaged student body, especially following the challenges of the pandemic, makes it a model of effective and efficient public education in the region.
