School is back in action, and it’s got us thinking of one of the most important factors of relocating your family. When choosing a home, school district is top of every parent’s mind. Lucky for South Bay folks, our public schools are some of the best in the state. So while individual schools may meet your needs more than another, there really isn’t a wrong choice of school districts in our beloved community.
We’ve broken down every city in the South Bay, detailing which colloquial zone it falls under and which school you’d be assigned based on address. First up is Manhattan Beach!
