Summary:
The Milpitas Unified district consists of 15 public schools serving nearly 10,000 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, and it ranks among the top 15% of districts in California for overall performance.
Parents will find several standout schools, including top-ranked Mabel Mattos Elementary and John Sinnott Elementary, which consistently achieve very high test scores and have very low chronic absenteeism. The district's main high school, Milpitas High, also performs exceptionally well with a 95% graduation rate, while the small Milpitas Middle College High boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate.
However, performance varies significantly across the district. Schools like Robert Randall World Languages and Calaveras Hills face considerable challenges, with much lower test scores and, in the case of Calaveras Hills, an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate. This indicates that while the district is strong overall, a student's specific school experience can differ greatly, with chronic absenteeism being a key indicator of a school's challenges.
