Summary:
ZIP code 94010 has 13 schools—nine elementary, two middle and two high schools—serving students from elementary grades through high school, including a continuation school. The elementary and middle schools all posted 2025–26 results above California’s figures in English language arts (ELA), math and science, though results vary considerably among elementary schools. The biggest contrast is among the high schools: Burlingame High was above the state in all three subjects, while Peninsula High (Continuation) was below it in all three.
Several schools stand out for strong results. North Hillsborough led elementary schools in ELA at 88%, while Hoover Elementary led in math at 91%, and West Hillsborough led in science at 90%. Crocker Middle led the middle-school pair in all three subjects: 86% ELA, 83% math and 76% science. At the other end, McKinley Elementary had the lowest elementary ELA and math results, at 61% and 62%, and Roosevelt Elementary had the lowest elementary science result, at 54%; each still exceeded its state comparison. Burlingame High scored 76% ELA, 61% math and 57% science, compared with Peninsula’s 10%, 3% and 12%—gaps of 66, 58 and 46 percentage points.
Across all 13 schools, average results were nearly flat from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA and math edged down by less than a point, while science edged up by less than a point. That average masks sharp changes: Crocker Middle improved in all three subjects, while West Hillsborough gained 18 points in science and Roosevelt Elementary fell 10 points. SchoolDigger ranks North Hillsborough 35th of 5,804 elementary schools and Crocker 28th of 2,703 middle schools; Peninsula ranks 1,782nd of 2,137 high schools. As context, the free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–25 ranged among elementary schools from 3% at North and West Hillsborough to 27% at Washington; these figures and student–teacher ratios describe differences among schools, not what causes their results.
