Summary:
The Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High district consists of two highly-rated traditional high schools, Los Gatos High and Saratoga High, serving grades 9-12 in an affluent area where both schools perform in the top 5% of all California high schools.
Both schools are exceptional, but Saratoga High consistently ranks higher statewide and shows stronger academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics where it leads by nearly 20 percentage points. Los Gatos High, while also elite, has a slight edge in graduation rate and serves a larger student population.
Parents can expect outstanding outcomes across the district, with graduation rates above 96% and chronic absenteeism roughly half the state average. The district's overall academic performance far exceeds California norms, with both schools maintaining 5-star ratings and demonstrating remarkable consistency in their high achievement over several years.
