Summary:
Zip code 91350 in the Saugus/Santa Clarita area is served by eight public schools—five K-6 elementary schools in the highly-ranked Saugus Union district and three 9-12 high schools in the William S. Hart Union High district, with no dedicated middle schools for the approximately 7,241 students.
Overall, schools here perform well above state averages, particularly in English. Among elementary schools, Emblem Academy and Plum Canyon Elementary stand out for their high academic rankings and very low chronic absenteeism. At the high school level, Saugus High is the clear top performer with exceptional graduation rates and test scores, while Golden Valley High also performs above average but shows more moderate results.
The area's main challenge is the significant performance gap with Bowman (Jereann) High (Continuation), an alternative school that, despite high per-student funding, struggles with very low test proficiency and high absenteeism. Mathematics is a relative weakness across all schools compared to English, though scores remain above state averages. Parents can expect consistent quality in elementary schools and strong traditional high school options, with attendance rates being a strong indicator of a school's academic success.
