Summary

College Park Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public school in San Mateo, serving 431 students within the San Mateo-Foster City school district, and it consistently ranks among the very best elementary schools in California.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with over 78% of students proficient in English and a remarkable 87% proficient in math, far exceeding both district and state averages. This high achievement is matched by an outstanding school culture, reflected in a chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.2%, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like San Mateo Park Elementary (29.3%) or Sunnybrae Elementary (27.5%). College Park has maintained this elite 5-star status for nearly a decade, demonstrating remarkable consistency even during challenging times.

While the San Mateo-Foster City district shows wide variation in school performance, College Park stands out for its effective support for all students. It achieves results comparable to elite schools in the neighboring Hillsborough City Elementary district, such as South Hillsborough, but does so with more moderate per-student spending, suggesting strengths in teaching quality and community engagement.

The new principal has really turned this school into a nurturing, academically excellent place. We just spent two years there--we are going to miss the community! Close Quote
