The public schools in San Carlos are run by the [[San Carlos School District]], although the school district boundaries do not cover the entire city of San Carlos. Within the city, there are several elementary schools (grades K–3), two upper elementary schools (grades 4–5), and two middle schools (grades 6–8). Since the 1982 closure of [[San Carlos High School]], local students have attended [[Sequoia High School (Redwood City, California)|Sequoia High School]] in [[Redwood City, California|Redwood City]] and [[Carlmont High School]] in [[Belmont, California|Belmont.]]

In 1996, Vice President [[Al Gore]] came to speak at Arundel Elementary School in regards to Net Day 1996. Former president [[Bill Clinton]] came to Charter Learning Center in 1997 to recognize the site as the second charter school in the nation.

====High schools====
Up until 1982 San Carlos had its own public high school, [[San Carlos High School]]. It was closed due to a decline in student enrollment from an overall aging of San Carlos residents, with the students of San Carlos middle schools divided up among the nearby [[Carlmont High School]] in [[Belmont, California|Belmont]] and [[Sequoia High School (Redwood City, California)|Sequoia High School]] in [[Redwood City, California|Redwood City]]. The playing fields were kept and converted into Highlands Park, which now hosts many local youth sporting groups, while the school was replaced with new housing. By the late 1990s and early first decade of the 21st century, city demographics changed again to a new generation of younger families with children, with the concurrent growth in student populations a new challenge for local schools.

In December 2014, the Sequoia Union High School District proposed development of a small high school in east San Carlos.<ref>{{cite web |title=Plans proceeding for two high schools: Traffic from one magnet a concern for some San Carlos neighbors, other planned for Menlo Park - - San Mateo Daily Journal |url=http://www.smdailyjournal.com/articles/lnews/2014-12-10/plans-proceeding-for-two-high-schools-traffic-from-one-magnet-a-concern-for-some-san-carlos-neighbors-other-planned-for-menlo-park/1776425134761.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141215020301/http://www.smdailyjournal.com/articles/lnews/2014-12-10/plans-proceeding-for-two-high-schools-traffic-from-one-magnet-a-concern-for-some-san-carlos-neighbors-other-planned-for-menlo-park/1776425134761.html |archive-date=December 15, 2014}}</ref> Due to community opposition, the District instead selected a location in Menlo Park, which opened in 2019 as [[TIDE Academy]].
