Summary

Boynton High is a 163-student, grades 9–12 school in San Jose, part of the Campbell Union High district. Its reported test proficiency is low across English, math and science, while recent graduation and dropout figures are comparatively favorable. The clearest concern is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–26, 71% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18% statewide.

Test results place Boynton near the bottom of nearby schools and far below state and district levels. In 2025–26, proficiency was 17% in English Language Arts, 3% in math and 8% in science, versus 49%, 38% and 36% statewide and 66%, 46% and 49% in its district. Among nearby schools with reported results, Boynton was second-lowest in English and math and below every reported science result. Science was closest to the state result, while math was furthest behind the state and district; English had the largest district gap. Graduation presents a more positive comparison: Boynton’s rate was 91%, above the state’s 88%, though below the district’s 96%. Its 1% dropout rate was below both the state’s 8% and district’s 2%.

Scores have edged up from 2022–23, but not as much as the state’s: Boynton gained about 2 points in English and 3 points each in math and science, while state results rose by about 3, 4 and 6 points, respectively. SchoolDigger gives Boynton 1 star and a 13th-percentile ranking for 2025–26, up from the 8th percentile the prior year but below nearby schools with rankings, which range from the 16th to the 99th percentile. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 10.9 in 2024–25, among the lowest nearby, and the highest reported nearby spending that year at $61,362 per student. In 2024–25, 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the third-highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year; this is context, not an explanation for results.
