In addition to its seven elementary schools, the district is in the process of designing and building two new “bridge” schools to serve grades 4-5.
Central Middle School, Tierra Linda Middle School and Charter Learning Center (serving children in grades K-8) all feed into Carlmont High School, which is operated by the Sequoia Union High School District.
