District Profile

The Menlo Park City School District serves parts of Menlo Park, Atherton and unincorporated San Mateo County. Menlo Park and Atherton are located 27 miles south of San Francisco and 20 miles northwest of San Jose, on the edge of Silicon Valley, two miles from Stanford University.

There are nearly 2,700 students, preschool through 8th grade, enrolled in the five schools that make up the District: the Early Learning Center preschool (fee-based partnership with MPCSD); Encinal Elementary, grades TK-5; Laurel Elementary School on two campuses - Lower Campus, grades TK-3 and Upper Campus, grades 3-5; Oak Knoll Elementary, grades TK-5; and Hillview Middle School, grades 6-8.

The District receives substantial support within the community through the Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation, which granted $3,708,409 for our schools for the 2024-25 school year. Each school is also supported by an active Parent Teacher Organization which funds campus-specific enrichment programs. Together, the MPAEF and the four PTOs run an annual fundraising campaign called the One Community Campaign.
