Summary:

Zip code 94127 has five schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: three elementary schools, Aptos Middle, and S.F. County Court Woodside Learning Center, listed as a high school and serving grades 6–12. They enroll 2,224 students; four schools have test-score data. In 2025–2026, all four tested schools exceeded California results in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Their average leads over the state were 11 points in ELA, 21 in math, and 14 in science. Most important, every school with test results was above state figures in all three subjects, with math the area’s clearest strength.

West Portal Elementary stands out in math and science, scoring 65% and 54%—26 and 18 points above the state, respectively. Miraloma Elementary leads ELA at 63%, 14 points above the state, and scores 64% in math, just 1 point below West Portal. But Miraloma has the lowest science result, 41%; it remains 5 points above the state, while trailing West Portal by 13 points. Sloat (Commodore) Elementary has the lowest ELA score at 58%, and Aptos the lowest math score at 50%; both are still above state results. Woodside enrolls 17 students and has no test scores supplied. Its reported graduation rate is 19% versus 88% statewide, and its dropout rate is 71% versus 8%.

Recent results show a mixed picture: the four-school average was nearly unchanged in ELA and fell 2 points in math and 6 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Sloat’s ELA score rose 5 points, and West Portal’s math score rose 2; science results fell relative to the state at every tested school. SchoolDigger gave all four tested schools four stars; their 2025–2026 statewide percentile rankings were 79–83, down 2–7 points from 2023–2024. Context measures do not follow a simple pattern with scores: Aptos has the lowest student–teacher ratio, 20.7, while West Portal and Miraloma each report 23.7. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares range from 30% at Miraloma to 59% at Aptos; these figures describe the schools and do not explain their results.
