Summary:
Woodside, California is served by three public schools across different grade levels: Woodside High (9-12), Woodside Elementary (K-8), and the small Kings Mountain Elementary (K-5), each operating within separate districts—Sequoia Union High, Woodside Elementary, and Cabrillo Unified, respectively.
Woodside Elementary stands out as an exceptional school, consistently ranking in the top 3% of California elementary schools with perfect 5-star ratings and the highest per-student spending. Both elementary schools show outstanding English Language Arts proficiency, far exceeding state averages, though a notable gap in math performance exists between them, with Kings Mountain Elementary scoring lower. All schools maintain lower chronic absenteeism than the state average, contributing to a strong educational environment.
While Woodside High maintains a solid 4-star rating and a high 91% graduation rate, its test scores in math and English, though above state averages, are lower than the exceptional results seen at the elementary level. This indicates students generally transition to a good high school, but the community's most elite academic performance is concentrated at the elementary level, particularly within the top-ranked Woodside Elementary district.
