The 94526 zip code in Danville, CA, is served by nine high-performing public schools within the San Ramon Valley Unified district, including five elementary, two middle, and two high schools, collectively educating about 8,100 students in a top-rated district.

Overall, schools here significantly outpace state averages, but notable differences exist between them. John Baldwin Elementary is the clear standout, ranking in the top 2% of elementary schools statewide with exceptional test scores, while Montair Elementary, though still strong, has a lower ranking and proficiency rates compared to its peers. At the high school level, Monte Vista High achieves a higher rank and graduation rate than San Ramon Valley High, despite lower per-student spending.

Parents can be confident in the quality of all schools in this area, with the understanding that specific programs, culture, and efficiency vary.
