Summary:
The 95037 zip code in Morgan Hill, California, serves approximately 7,690 students across 12 public schools, ranging from elementary to high school, including a continuation school, within three main districts.
Academic performance varies significantly across the area. Top-performing schools include Ann Sobrato High, with a high graduation rate and strong test scores, and the Charter School of Morgan Hill, which excels with remarkably low chronic absenteeism. Other standouts are Jackson Academy of Music and Math (JAMM), Nordstrom Elementary, and Paradise Valley Engineering Academy. In contrast, Barrett Elementary, P. A. Walsh STEAM Academy, and Central High (Continuation) face substantial challenges, with lower test scores and, in the case of Central High, very high chronic absenteeism.
Key findings show a notable performance gap between the two comprehensive high schools, with Ann Sobrato High outperforming Live Oak High. Lewis H. Britton Middle shows signs of declining performance and high absenteeism, which is a concern for the transition from elementary school. Furthermore, there is no clear link between higher per-student spending and better outcomes, as some of the highest-funded schools have the lowest performance.
