Summary

Saugus High is a public school serving 2,317 students in grades 9–12 in Saugus, California, and is part of the William S. Hart Union High School District. Its clearest academic strength is English Language Arts (ELA): 85% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, the second-highest result among nearby same-district high schools.

Compared with the district and state, Saugus was strongest in ELA and above the state in all three subjects: proficiency was 85% in ELA, 58% in science and 48% in math, versus 70%, 52% and 52% for the district, and 49%, 36% and 38% statewide. Against nearby same-district high schools with grades 9–12, Saugus was 7 points above the peer average in ELA, but 6 points below in math and 1 point below in science. A notable exception is 12th-grade science: 26% were proficient, compared with 59% in 11th grade, 34% districtwide and 33% statewide.
