Summary

Evergreen Valley High is a large, top-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 with over 2,700 students in San Jose's East Side Union High district.

The school is a consistent standout, ranking in the top 5% of all California high schools for over a decade with a 95% graduation rate, very low dropout and absenteeism, and test scores that far exceed both district and state averages. It achieves these exceptional results while spending less per student than many nearby schools, including William C. Overfelt High and Mt. Pleasant High. While the broader East Side Union High district ranks in the middle of the state, Evergreen Valley High is an outlier of excellence within it.

Compared to neighboring schools, Evergreen Valley High's performance is remarkable. Its closest district competitor, Silver Creek High, trails significantly in academic proficiency. The school is also highly effective with economically disadvantaged students and English Learners, ranking in the top tiers statewide for these groups. While nearby charter schools like KIPP Navigate College Prep have much higher per-student spending, they do not outperform Evergreen Valley High, demonstrating the school's efficient and effective model.
