Summary

Gilroy High serves 1,618 students in grades 9–12 in Gilroy, California, within Gilroy Unified. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 40% in English language arts (ELA), 11% in math, and 16% in science. Those results were below California’s by 10, 27, and 20 percentage points, respectively. The clearest concern is low proficiency, especially in math and science.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject by comparison, but it still trails most nearby high schools: Gilroy ranked sixth of eight in ELA and exceeded only two nearby schools; in math and science, it exceeded just one school in each subject. Its results were also below the nearby-school averages: 40% versus 54% in ELA, 11% versus 27% in math, and 16% versus 37% in science. Math was farthest behind the district, by 22 points, while ELA was closest, just 1 point below. Graduation is a positive counterpoint: the 2025–2026 rate was 92%, about 4 points above California’s. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, at 25% compared with 18% statewide and 21% in the district.

Results have been uneven: all three subjects peaked in 2023–2024, then fell sharply the following year. By 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked Gilroy at the 29th percentile and awarded it 1 star, down 34 percentile points from its 63rd-percentile ranking in 2023–2024; the district ranked at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 20.8, a middle-range figure among nearby schools, and 51% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Asian students rose from the 15th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 51st in 2024–2025. For Multi-racial Students, the measure fell from the 50th to the 14th percentile over the same years, showing that the school’s overall ranking does not describe its standing for every group equally.
