Summary:
Milpitas, California, has 15 schools serving elementary, middle and high school grades: 10 elementary schools, two middle schools and three high schools. In 2025–26, elementary and middle school averages were above state results in English language arts (ELA), math and science, while the high school average was above state in ELA but below in math and science. The most important finding is the sharp divide among high schools: 11th graders at Milpitas High scored 70% in ELA, 58% in math and 60% in science, compared with 35%, 0% and 9% at Calaveras Hills.
Among elementary schools, Curtner led All Grades ELA at 78%, while Mabel Mattos led math at 82% and science at 65%. At the lower end, Robert Randall World Languages had the lowest elementary ELA and science results, at 42% and 19%; Alexander Rose had the lowest math result, at 39%. Thomas Russell led the middle schools in ELA, math and science, with 76%, 68% and 64%, versus 72%, 60% and 57% at Rancho Milpitas. Among high schools, Milpitas High also outscored the next-highest school in each subject by 15 points in ELA, 19 in math and 27 in science.
Across the 15 schools, the simple average fell by 1 point in ELA and 2 in science from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while rising by 1 point in math; state results rose in all three subjects, so the average school-to-state gaps narrowed. SchoolDigger ranked Mattos at the 96th percentile and Russell at the 94th percentile in 2025–26. Income and staffing figures add context but do not explain results: for 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 15% at Mattos to 59% at Randall, while elementary student-teacher ratios ranged from 24.0 to 25.5. Results vary within schools and across grade spans, so overall figures do not capture every grade-level pattern.
