Summary

Amador Valley High is a large, top-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 in the affluent community of Pleasanton, part of the Pleasanton Unified district, with an enrollment of over 2,500 students.

The school is consistently ranked among the top 6% in the state, with exceptional strengths in English Language Arts—where it leads nearby schools like Foothill High and Dublin High—and an outstandingly low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.7%, the best in the region. It also demonstrates remarkable effectiveness in supporting special education students and maintains graduation rates consistently above 95%.

While Amador Valley excels in many areas, its mathematics and science proficiency, though strong, is slightly below the Pleasanton Unified district average and trails some local peers, presenting a focus for continued improvement. The school achieves these high-quality outcomes with mid-range per-student spending compared to other comprehensive high schools in the area.
