Summary:
94563 has six schools: four elementary schools serving K–5, one intermediate school serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12; in 2025–26, every school scored above the state in ELA, math, and science. Among the elementary schools, science shows the biggest local difference: results ranged from 91% at Wagner Ranch Elementary to 65% at Glorietta Elementary, a 27-point spread.
Wagner Ranch led the elementary schools in all three subjects, with 90% in ELA, 91% in math, and 91% in science. Glorietta had the lowest elementary results in each: 84% in ELA, 83% in math, and 65% in science. Even those scores were above state results—by 35, 45, and 29 percentage points, respectively—while Wagner Ranch was ahead by 41, 52, and 55 points. Among the secondary schools, Miramonte High scored 94% in ELA, 72% in math, and 83% in science; Orinda Intermediate scored 89%, 81%, and 77%. SchoolDigger ranks Miramonte 20th of 2,137, Orinda Intermediate 24th of 2,703, Wagner Ranch 25th of 5,804, and Glorietta 191st of 5,804.
Recent results are mixed rather than uniformly rising: the equal-school average was essentially flat in ELA, down 2 percentage points in math, and up 3 in science. The average gap with the state narrowed by about 1 point in ELA and 3 in math, while science was nearly unchanged. Individual changes varied: Miramonte’s math fell 6 points, while Orinda Intermediate’s science rose 11; Glorietta’s science fell 13 points. School context also varies: elementary student-teacher ratios run from 21.0 at Sleepy Hollow Elementary to 23.4 at Glorietta, and free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–25 ranged from 2% at Wagner Ranch and Glorietta to 5% at Sleepy Hollow. These are observations, not explanations of results; grade spans and SchoolDigger ranking pools also differ, so rankings are not direct comparisons across school types.
