Summary:
Four public high schools serve students in grades 9-12 within Santa Clara, California's 95051 zip code, all part of the Santa Clara Unified district, which performs above the state average.
Among the two main comprehensive high schools, Santa Clara High stands out as the top performer with the highest statewide ranking, strongest math and science scores, and the lowest dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. Adrian Wilcox High shows impressive improvement, recently achieving the highest English Language Arts proficiency and a strong graduation rate. Both schools graduate over 94% of their students and have chronic absenteeism well below the state average.
The area also includes specialized schools for students needing alternative support: New Valley Continuation High and the very small Santa Clara Community Day. These schools have much higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes to serve their high-needs populations, resulting in different academic and attendance metrics. Overall, the district's high schools consistently outperform California averages in graduation rates, test scores, and attendance.
