San Mateo Union High


Summary:

The San Mateo Union High School District consists of 7 high schools serving students in the San Mateo area. The district boasts a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with notable standouts like Burlingame High, Mills High, and Aragon High ranking among the top schools in the state. These top-tier schools boast exceptional test scores, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates.

In contrast, the district's continuation school, Peninsula High (Continuation), struggles with significantly lower performance metrics across the board, including the lowest 4-year graduation rate, highest dropout rate, and highest chronic absenteeism.
