Welcome to the Award winning Manhattan beach school district

One of the greatest aspects of life in Manhattan Village and in Manhattan Beach in general are the award winning schools.  Many home buyers are focused only on Manhattan Beach due to the array of great public and private schools.  They are consistently ranked among the best schools in the country with incredible test scores and the impressive number of kids heading off to fantastic colleges.    API scores are generally all in the mid 900 range which is extremely impressive. In general the homes and townhomes of Manhattan Village are served by Meadows Elementary School, Manhattan Beach Middle School (MBMS) and Mira Costa High School. Below is information on each of the 5 elementary schools, as well as a boundary map showing where students attend by neighborhood. One of the most frequent questions is what elementary school will a child attend depending on where they buy a home in Manhattan Beach.  Manhattan Beach Unified School District has 5 elementary schools, one middle school and one high school (Mira Costa).  See the map below to get a better sense of where the elementary schools are located and the boundaries of each.
