Summary:
The Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High district consists of two exceptional, 5-star high schools, Los Gatos High and Saratoga High, both serving grades 9-12 and consistently ranking among the top 6% of all California high schools.
While both schools are outstanding, Saratoga High holds a higher statewide ranking and demonstrates stronger academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics where it leads by a notable margin. It also benefits from a slightly better student-teacher ratio and lower chronic absenteeism. Los Gatos High, the larger of the two schools, counters with a marginally higher graduation rate, showing its strength in supporting students through to completion.
Overall, families in this district can expect exceptional educational outcomes, with both schools achieving proficiency rates far above state averages in English, math, and science. The district's graduation rate is also significantly higher than the California average. The most pronounced difference between the schools is in math performance, which is an area where Saratoga High excels, while Los Gatos High maintains a very strong record of graduating its students.
