Summary:
Zip code 94010 in the Burlingame and Hillsborough area of California is served by 13 public schools across three districts, offering education from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a mix of nine elementary, two middle, and two high schools, including one continuation school.
The area features some of the state's top-performing schools, particularly within the Hillsborough City Elementary district, where North Hillsborough, South Hillsborough, and West Hillsborough elementary schools rank in the 98th to 100th percentiles statewide, supported by high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios. Crocker Middle and Burlingame High also perform exceptionally well, with the high school boasting a 95.7% graduation rate. Schools in the Burlingame Elementary district, such as McKinley Elementary and Washington Elementary, are still strong but rank lower, with higher student-teacher ratios and more variable test scores across grade levels.
Notable disparities exist, as the continuation Peninsula High faces significant challenges with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism despite high funding. Overall, school performance in 94010 strongly correlates with attendance and economic factors, with the Hillsborough schools showing nearly perfect attendance and the highest academic outcomes, while the range in performance highlights the importance of considering individual school data within this generally high-achieving zip code.
