Summary:
ZIP code 94582 has 11 schools, from elementary through high school: six elementary schools, two middle schools, and three high schools, including an alternative school and a continuation school. Across the nine schools outside those two specialized high-school settings, results are well above California averages: their unweighted averages are 80% in ELA, 79% in math, and 71% in science, about 31, 41, and 35 percentage points above state scores. The most important takeaway is that reported proficiency is strong across the regular elementary, middle, and comprehensive high school, though results vary more among elementary schools.
Coyote Creek Elementary leads the elementary schools at 82% in ELA, 85% in math, and 80% in science; Quail Run Elementary is lowest at 67%, 69%, and 59%. Even Quail Run is above state scores by 18 ELA points, 31 math points, and 23 science points. Among middle schools, Windemere Ranch Middle leads Gale Ranch Middle by 3 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 12 in science. The high-school comparison is a sharp exception: in 11th grade, Dougherty Valley High scores 90% in ELA and 80% in math, while Venture (Alternative) scores 46% and 8%, and Del Amigo High (Continuation) scores 33% and 6%.
Recent changes are mixed: across the nine schools outside the alternative and continuation settings, average scores rose about 1 point in ELA and science and were nearly flat in math; statewide gains were less than 1 point in ELA, 1 in math, and 3 in science. Bella Vista Elementary improved in all three subjects, including 8 science points, while Hidden Hills Elementary fell 10 science points. SchoolDigger ranks Dougherty Valley 23rd statewide and Windemere Ranch 25th, both in the 99th percentile; Coyote Creek Elementary ranks 111th among elementary schools. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 9% at Coyote Creek and 18% at Quail Run; their student-teacher ratios were 20.9 and 22.2, respectively. The two specialized high schools serve different settings, so their results are not a like-for-like comparison with Dougherty Valley.
