Summary:
ZIP code 94306 has eight schools: five elementary schools serving K–5, two middle schools serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12. Across the schools, unweighted averages in 2025–2026 were 80% proficient in ELA, 81% in math, and 77% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The averages are strong, but the 27- to 29-point spreads from the highest to lowest school show that results vary substantially; every school’s supplied all-grade result was above its subject’s state figure.
Herbert Hoover Elementary leads ELA at 91%, about 6 points above the next-highest school, Fairmeadow Elementary. Juana Briones Elementary leads math at 93% and science at 89%; it is about 1 point ahead of Hoover in math and 4 in science. Barron Park Elementary has the lowest all-grade results—62% in ELA, 66% in math, and 61% in science. Among middle schools, Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle leads in all three all-grade subjects and is ahead in six of seven same-grade comparisons with Ellen Fletcher Middle. Henry M. Gunn High reports a 96% graduation rate, 8 points above the state.
ELA declined at every school between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, with an average decrease of about 3 points; math was nearly flat on average, while science rose about 4 points. There are notable exceptions: Barron Park’s math rose 3 points and science 11, while Juana Briones’ ELA fell 9 points even as its math and science increased. SchoolDigger ranked Hoover 14th of 5,804 California elementary schools and Barron Park 1,013th in 2025–2026. School size and student-teacher ratio do not neatly track results: Fairmeadow has the largest enrollment and highest listed ratio, 19.9, yet strong scores; Barron Park’s ratio is 18.2. All eight schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranging from 7% at Hoover to 30% at Barron Park; these figures are context, not an explanation of scores. Results are school-level percentages, so they do not show student counts in each tested grade.
