18^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,703 California Middle Schools

Better than 99% of California middle schools

Summary

Redwood Middle serves 709 students in grades 6–8 in Saratoga, within the Saratoga Union Elementary district. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results are exceptionally high: 88% in English Language Arts (ELA), 89% in math, and 82% in science, compared with California rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The most important takeaway is that Redwood’s results are far above the state’s in all three subjects.

Locally, Redwood’s strongest position is in ELA: it ranks first among 11 nearby schools, with 88% proficient, compared with a nearby average of 73%. Its lead over the next-highest school, John F. Kennedy Middle, is less than one percentage point. Redwood ranks third in math, at 89%, behind John F. Kennedy and Joaquin Miller Middle; it also ranks third in science, at 82%, behind Joaquin Miller and Sam H. Lawson Middle. Redwood is slightly above its district in each subject, but the gaps are narrow: about 2 points in ELA, less than 1 point in math, and about 1 point in science. Its advantage over California is much larger, ranging from 39 to 51 points.

Results have risen overall since 2022–2023: Redwood gained about 2 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 4 in science, though its advantage over the state narrowed slightly as state results also improved. SchoolDigger ranks Redwood 18th of 2,703 California schools and gives it 5 stars in 2025–2026; two nearby schools rank higher. Other context includes a 20.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, above the nearby average of about 20, and 3% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest reported share among the nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism is also comparatively low: 4.6% in 2025–2026, versus 18.3% statewide. These figures describe school context but do not explain what causes the results.
