Summary:
Zip code 94939 has three schools: Hall Middle for grades 6–8, Redwood High for grades 9–12, and San Andreas High (Continuation) for grades 10–12. The reported results show a marked difference across this small group: in 2025–2026, Redwood and Hall were well above state proficiency rates, while San Andreas was far below in English language arts (ELA) and math; that divide is the most important finding for families comparing these schools.
Redwood led ELA, with 82% proficient, just ahead of Hall at 80%; San Andreas was at 15%. Hall led math at 74%, compared with Redwood’s 68% and San Andreas’s 0%. Hall also led science at 68%, followed by Redwood at 64% and San Andreas at 35%, close to the state rate of 36%. At grade 11, Redwood’s advantage over San Andreas was 67 percentage points in ELA, 68 in math, and 36 in science, so the high-school gap is not simply a difference in grade spans.
