Good Shepherd operates a middle school for sixth-, seventh- and eight-graders in leased rooms at the Presbyterian Church of Novato, about 3.5 miles west of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. In October 2010, Good Shepherd received support from the Novato Planning Commission in its bid to expand enrollment from 35 middle school students to 80 at the Presbyterian campus. The school, which has 41 students and eight faculty members, expects the Novato City Council to weigh in on the issue later in 2010.
