Summary

Lynbrook High is a top-ranked public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,700 students in San Jose, part of the highly-regarded Fremont Union High school district.

The school consistently ranks in the top 1% of all California schools, with academic proficiency rates above 90% in core subjects. It stands out even within its elite district, outperforming close neighbors like Monta Vista High and Cupertino High by a significant margin in math and science. Lynbrook also demonstrates exceptional support for diverse learners, with its special education students ranking in the 99th percentile statewide. The school maintains a graduation rate above 97.5% and has remarkably low chronic absenteeism, less than half the district average.

While benefiting from its high-performing district, Lynbrook's sustained excellence suggests strong institutional systems. A notable finding is the stark contrast with some nearby schools in different districts; for instance, Prospect High, less than a mile away, has different performance outcomes, highlighting how district boundaries can influence educational resources. The school's main area for growth appears to be creating more consistent year-to-year success for all student subgroups, as some have shown fluctuations in performance.

What people are saying

by a student
Monday, March 21, 2011

Great community, low crime rate, respectful students. Bullying is almost unheard of, and most of the students focus on their academic life before their social one. Although most of the school is composed of Asians (76%), racism, homophobia, physical fights, etc are considered uncommon, and looked-down upon. Even with the curriculum already significantly harder than myriad other public schools, students still strive to reach an average of 3.8 unweighted, school-wide GPA. Compared to straight-A students from other, less-academic schools, Lynbrook students generally do much better in college. The sport teams my not be considered exactly dominant, with the exceptions of Girl's Dance Team, Badminton, and Girls's Basketball, but the academics more than make up for it. Some (who do not attend Lynbrook) complain that the students "study too much," and have "no social skills," but, in fact, they do. Probably even more than those from other schools; Lynbrook students not only successfully display friendly, social collectiveness, but they also accomplish leadership ingenuity (which is, therefore, "social"). Regardless, pupils learn how to work independently with aptitude, as well as amicably without bigotry. With teachers who know exactly what they are doing, Lynbrook is one of the top 100 schools in the nation! This rating is not composed of biased comments; it is based upon average, statistical facts and observations. This is written in a third person's viewpoint, although I, myself, am currently attending Lynbrook as a sophomore. Anyways, go 2013, and go Vikings! Close Quote
