Summary:
ZIP code 94589 has two public high schools, MIT Academy and Griffin Academy High, and both serve grades 9–12. In 2024–2025, their strongest results were in different subjects, while both schools’ math proficiency was well below the state rate. The most important shared concern is math: just 25% of students at MIT and 26% at Griffin were proficient, compared with 37% statewide.
Griffin Academy High stood out in 2024–2025 ELA, with 63% proficient—14 percentage points above MIT and 14 points above the 49% state rate. MIT Academy led in science: 42% were proficient, versus 37% at Griffin and 33% statewide. Griffin’s math result was only 1 point higher than MIT’s, and both were substantially below the state. In short, neither school leads across all subjects: Griffin’s clearest strength was ELA, while MIT’s was science.
Griffin’s results weakened in its latest reported year: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its ELA proficiency fell 19 percentage points, math fell 2 points and science fell 4 points; the latest scores were below state rates in all three subjects. Griffin also had chronic absenteeism of 51% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Griffin rose from 61 in 2023–2024 to 70 in 2024–2025, then fell to 50 in 2025–2026; MIT’s was 59, 65 and 63 across those years. As context, in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 72% at Griffin and 63% at MIT, while student-teacher ratios were 18.8 and 25.2, respectively. MIT has no 2025–2026 scores in these data, so Griffin’s later results do not provide a same-year comparison between the schools.
