Summary

Los Gatos High is a large, high-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 with nearly 2,000 students, located in an affluent area within the top-ranked Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High district.

The school consistently earns top ratings, with graduation and attendance rates well above state averages and strong test scores, particularly in English. It shows remarkable effectiveness in supporting students with special needs and those from lower-income families, ranking in the top percentiles statewide for these groups. While its overall performance is excellent, a notable finding is that its math scores, though solid, are lower than those at the highest-performing nearby schools like Saratoga High and Lynbrook High.

Compared to its district peer, Saratoga High, Los Gatos High achieves its strong outcomes with lower per-student spending, suggesting efficient use of resources. The school's performance stands in stark contrast to alternative schools in the region, such as Broadway High and Boynton High, which serve different student populations and have much lower proficiency rates despite higher funding.
