Summary:

The Pleasanton Unified school district is a high-performing system of 16 schools serving roughly 12,000 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, ranking in the top 10% of all districts in California.

Parents will find consistently strong academics across the district, with elementary schools like Henry P. Mohr Elementary and Walnut Grove Elementary and middle schools such as Harvest Park Middle and Thomas S. Hart Middle standing out as top-tier, often outperforming the excellent comprehensive high schools, Amador Valley High and Foothill High.

Key strengths include graduation and attendance rates far better than the state average, though a notable dip in high school science scores district-wide is an interesting trend. The district also offers specialized options like The Pleasanton Virtual Academy and Village High, which serve unique student needs with very different resource models.
