Summary:
Zip code 94536 in Fremont, California, is served by two public high schools, American High and Washington High, both part of the highly-ranked Fremont Unified school district, which consistently outperforms state averages.
American High stands out as a top-tier school, ranking in California's 98th-99th percentile with exceptional academic proficiency, a 96.1% graduation rate, and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area. Washington High is also a strong performer, ranking in the 88th-92nd percentile with a solid 93.2% graduation rate, though it serves a student population with greater economic need and shows more variability in its annual rankings.
Key differences include academic performance, where American leads in all tested subjects, and an interesting resource allocation: Washington receives over $1,000 more per student but has lower test scores, particularly in 12th-grade Science where its proficiency rate is notably low. Both schools benefit from the strong foundation of the Fremont Unified district, ensuring quality education that significantly exceeds statewide benchmarks.
