Summary:
Sunol has one listed school, Sunol Glen Elementary, a K–8 school with 240 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was higher than California’s in ELA (74% vs. 49%), math (77% vs. 38%), and science (65% vs. 36%). The clearest takeaway is that the school exceeded the state in all three subjects, with its largest advantage in math: 39 points, compared with 25 in ELA and 29 in science.
There are no other listed schools to compare, so Sunol Glen is the area’s only and therefore top- and bottom-ranked local option. Its results vary by grade: ELA proficiency ranged from 65% in grade 8 to 83% in grade 6, while math ranged from 70% in grade 6 to 88% in grade 3. The school was above state results in every reported grade, but the size of the lead varied—from 16 points in grade 8 ELA to 35 in grade 6 ELA, and from 28 points in grade 4 math to 44 in grade 7 math.
Proficiency declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, although the school remained well above state results: ELA fell 6 points, math 2 points, and science 2 points, while its state gaps narrowed by 7, 3, and 5 points, respectively. SchoolDigger gave Sunol Glen five stars and ranked it 424 of 5,804 California schools (93rd percentile) in 2025–2026; its percentile was also 93rd the prior year. Other context for families: chronic absenteeism was 11%, compared with 18% statewide, and the student–teacher ratio was 18.9 in 2024–2025. In that same school year, 10% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; these figures are context, not explanations for test results.
