Nestled in the foothills behind Stanford University, the Portola Valley School District is home to just under 630 TK - 8th grade students. We are proud of our two award-winning schools: Ormondale (TK - 3rd) and Corte Madera (4th - 8th). Our website pages are a vital communications link designed to help you learn about our schools and educational services. Be sure to let us know if we can include additional information of interest or if we can make the site easier to navigate.
