Summary

Mt. Eden High is a large public high school serving about 1,865 students in grades 9-12 within the Hayward Unified School District, consistently earning a 3-star rating and performing around the state average in several key areas.

The school has clear strengths, particularly in English Language Arts where 61.6% of students are proficient, a rate that significantly outpaces the district average and even exceeds nearby charter schools like Impact Academy of Arts & Technology. It also graduates students at a rate matching the state average (87.5%) and has made impressive progress reducing chronic absenteeism. However, the school faces significant challenges in mathematics and science proficiency, where scores are much lower, indicating a need for stronger STEM support. Performance also varies among different student groups, with notable success in supporting migrant students but a recent decline in outcomes for students in special education.

Compared to other local schools, Mt. Eden High stands out within its district for its high ELA scores and efficient spending per student. It maintains a more stable and stronger record in graduation and dropout rates than neighbors like Tennyson High and Brenkwitz High. This shows that despite serving a community with high economic need, the school achieves competitive results through focused efforts in literacy and student support.
