Summary:
Zip code 95050 in Santa Clara, California, is served by one middle school, Buchser Middle, which educates grades 6 through 8 within the Santa Clara Unified School District.
Buchser Middle shows notable consistency, maintaining a 4-star rating and a ranking in the 70th-72nd percentile statewide for the last three years. The school has a clear strength in English Language Arts, where it exceeds California state averages across all grades, with 7th graders performing particularly well.

Its chronic absenteeism rate is on par with the district and better than the state average. For parents in the area, Buchser Middle represents a stable, above-average option with a strong literacy program, though families may want to inquire about supports for mathematics and science to help students reach their full potential in all core subjects.
