While the schools in the 94002 zip code generally serve a diverse, higher-income student population, there are some equity concerns. Nesbit Elementary has lower test scores and a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools in the area, suggesting the need for additional support. Overall, the consistent academic excellence across these schools, particularly the top-ranked institutions, highlights the benefits of strong district-level leadership and resources in the Belmont-Redwood Shores and Sequoia Union High school districts.
