Summary:

The 94022 zip code in the affluent Los Altos/Los Altos Hills area of Silicon Valley is served by seven exceptional public schools across four elementary, one middle, and two high schools within three high-performing districts.

This area features consistently outstanding academic results, with all schools significantly outperforming state averages. Bullis Charter School stands out as the clear academic leader, ranked #2 in California, while Los Altos High is the top comprehensive high school with a 97% graduation rate. Within the Los Altos Elementary district, Gardner Bullis Elementary excels in science, and Ardis G. Egan Junior High provides a strong middle school bridge. The smaller Palo Alto Middle College High offers an alternative model with a very low student-teacher ratio.

Notable findings include Bullis Charter achieving top results with lower per-student spending, demonstrating remarkable efficiency. While all schools have low rates of economic disadvantage compared to the state, some variation exists between them. The data shows a strong, consistent educational pathway from elementary through high school, supported by high community investment and experienced educators across the Bullis Charter District, Los Altos Elementary, and Mountain View-Los Altos Union High districts, making this one of California's premier educational ecosystems.
