Summary:
ZIP code 94062 has eight schools: three elementary, two middle and three high schools, serving students across elementary through high-school grades. Their results vary widely, so the ZIP-code picture is not uniformly strong or weak; the clearest overall academic standout is North Star Academy.
North Star Academy led the reported 2025–2026 results with 93% proficiency in ELA, 93% in math and 92% in science; SchoolDigger ranked it fourth of 2,703 schools statewide. At the other end, McKinley Institute of Technology reported 30% in ELA, 11% in math and 29% in science, ranking 2,172nd of 2,703. North Star’s advantage over McKinley was 63 percentage points in ELA, 82 in math and 63 in science. Woodside Elementary was another strong performer, at 87% in ELA, 86% in math and 80% in science; SchoolDigger ranked it 40th of 5,804. Among the three high schools, Tide Academy led ELA at 69%, while Woodside High led math at 43% and science at 54%.
Recent results show gains relative to the state in math and science, but not ELA: the unweighted school-average advantage shifted from 10 to 16 points in math and from 13 to 19 points in science, while ELA’s narrowed from 16 to 15 points. Tide Academy improved by 9 points in ELA, 16 in math and 19 in science from 2024–2025; North Star Academy dipped modestly, but remained the top scorer. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentile also rose for McKinley Institute of Technology, from the 8th to the 20th percentile between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, while Tide Academy moved from the 91st to the 80th. For context, the schools’ free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 ranged from 7% at Woodside Elementary to 92% at McKinley Institute of Technology; this is background, not an explanation for school results. Ratios also do not map neatly to scores: Tide Academy had a 9.4:1 student–teacher ratio, while North Star Academy had 25.9:1 and the highest results.
