Summary

Woodside High is a large public high school serving approximately 1,660 students in grades 9-12 within the Sequoia Union High district, consistently ranking as a solid, mid-tier performer in the 70th-85th percentile range statewide.

The school stands out for maintaining a strong 91% graduation rate and outperforming state averages in all core subjects, with particular strength in English Language Arts and Science, even while serving a more economically diverse community than some top-performing neighbors. However, it faces challenges in mathematics, where it lags behind the district average and high-flying schools like Carlmont High. Performance for specific student groups, such as English Language Learners, has shown concerning volatility in recent years, though the school has historically shown strength in supporting students with disabilities through to graduation.

With a better student-teacher ratio than many area schools and higher per-student spending than most district peers, Woodside High occupies a unique position as a reliable, middle-ground option in a district that contains both exceptional performers like Carlmont and struggling schools like Redwood High. It offers families a balanced educational environment that effectively graduates students and provides consistent value, particularly in its core academic programming and science instruction.
