Zip code 94561 has one listed high school, Freedom High, serving grades 9–12; it enrolls 2,460 students and had a 21.5:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025. The most important academic concern is math: in 2025–2026, 19% of students were proficient, about 20 percentage points below the state’s 38%.
Because Freedom High is the only school listed, there is no local school-to-school leader or trailer.

The grade-matched comparison is less favorable in 11th-grade ELA: 50% at Freedom versus 57% statewide.
