Stories of Excellence

Our District continues to shine as a leader in public education—locally and nationally. From impressive academic achievements and national rankings to championship athletic seasons, award-winning arts and STEAM programs, our schools exemplify a well-rounded commitment to excellence. These accomplishments reflect the hard work of our students, the dedication of our educators, and the steadfast support of our community. Together, we are building a legacy of pride and performance that sets our schools apart. 

The Manhattan Beach Unified School District (MBUSD) has seven schools and an enrollment of approximately 6,000 students. MBUSD students have access to outstanding academic and enrichment opportunities that span from kindergarten to graduation because of MBEF support.

MBUSD educators are at the heart of what makes Manhattan Beach schools exceptional. Their expertise, creativity, and dedication inspire curiosity, foster meaningful relationships, and empower students to reach their fullest potential. By creating engaging, supportive learning environments, they help every student build the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to thrive.

Each year, Mira Costa High School graduates embark on their next chapter prepared to pursue the path that is right for them. From highly selective colleges and leading public universities to community colleges, specialized programs, vocational opportunities, military service, and international study, our graduates take what they have learned at Mira Costa into communities across the country and around the world.
