Summary:
ZIP code 94025 has one high school, Menlo-Atherton High, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 2,158 students. There are no other listed high schools to compare it with, so local families can use its results against state and district figures instead. In 2025–2026, Menlo-Atherton’s all-grades results were above California’s in English language arts, math, and science, with the largest lead in English.
Because it is the only school listed, Menlo-Atherton is both the top and bottom school by default; that is not a meaningful local ranking. Its clearest strength against the state was English: 68% of students met the standard, compared with 49% statewide, a 19-percentage-point lead. Results were also higher in science (53% versus 36%, a 17-point lead) and math (53% versus 38%, a 14-point lead). One important exception is 12th-grade science: 26% met the standard, below the state’s 33%; in 11th grade, the school scored 54% versus 38% statewide. Graduation was 92%, compared with 88% statewide and 92% in the Sequoia Union High district.
Recent test results show gains in math and science, but a small decline in English: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math rose 2 percentage points and science rose 2 points, while English fell 1 point. The school’s average lead over the state narrowed by about 1 point, as statewide results improved faster overall. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down over the reported years, from 207th of 2,159 schools (90th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 291st of 2,137 (86th percentile) in 2025–2026; rankings are not test-score percentages and do not alone show why the position changed. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 17.9, and 33% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. These figures offer context, not an explanation for test results. With only one school in the list, the data cannot show how it compares with other nearby high schools.
