Summary

Homestead High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving about 2,200 students in grades 9-12 within the highly-regarded Fremont Union High district in Cupertino, consistently ranking in the top 6% of all California high schools.

Academically, Homestead performs well above state averages, with strong graduation rates and test scores in English, Math, and Science. However, within its own competitive district, it ranks below its immediate peers like Lynbrook High, Monta Vista High, and Cupertino High. The school serves a more economically diverse student population than these top peers, and this correlates with a noticeable, though small, performance gap. Its results also vary significantly for different student subgroups, with stronger outcomes for some groups than others.

Despite these within-district comparisons, Homestead remains an excellent school that effectively supports students to graduation. It achieves its results with lower per-student spending than neighboring schools, and its recent slight dip in statewide ranking coincides with an increase in students from lower-income families. Compared to other schools in the area, such as Mountain View High or Fremont High, Homestead occupies a solid position in the upper tier of comprehensive high schools in Silicon Valley.
