Summary

C. T. English Middle is a small, high-performing school of about 164 students serving grades 6-8 in the scenic Los Gatos area, operating within the highly-ranked Loma Prieta Joint Union Elementary district.

The school consistently earns top-tier state rankings, with recent test scores in English, math, and science nearly doubling the state averages, and it maintains this excellence for all student groups. A standout feature is the very low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.9%, which is less than half the state average and reflects strong student engagement. The school's modest size is a notable asset, fostering a personalized environment that likely contributes to its consistent results and community feel.

When compared to nearby schools like Union Middle or Raymond J. Fisher Middle, which may have slightly higher test scores, C. T. English achieves similar elite academic outcomes on a much smaller, more intimate scale. It also benefits from being part of a top-performing district, unlike some other high-achieving schools in the area, such as Bret Harte Middle, which excel despite their districts' lower overall rankings.
