Summary:
The high-school list for ZIP code 94545 contains one school: Mt. Eden High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,865 students. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed academic picture: English language arts (ELA) is above the state, while math and science are below it. The clearest takeaway is that ELA is the school’s strongest subject, but math has the largest gap with state results.
Mt. Eden High stands out most in all-grades ELA: 55% were proficient, about 5 points above the state and 21 points above Hayward Unified. Math is the weakest comparison with the state: 23% were proficient, 16 points below statewide results, though roughly level with the district. Science was also below the state, at 23% versus 36%, but close to the district. Grade 12 science was especially low, at 6%, 27 points below the state. Because only one school is listed, there is no school-to-school comparison or ranking within the ZIP code.
Results changed unevenly over time: ELA proficiency fell 7 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while math rose 3 points and narrowed its state gap by 2 points. Science rose 2 points, but its gap with the state widened by 2 points. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking also declined: the school moved from 915th of 2,159 schools and the 58th percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024 to 1,111th of 2,137 and the 48th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. Other measures are mixed: the graduation rate was 93%, 5 points above the state, and the dropout rate was 4%, 4 points below; chronic absenteeism was 23%, 5 points above the state. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 21.8, and 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
