Schools in Zip Code 95070

Zip code 95070 has nine schools—six elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools—serving students from elementary through high school, and every school’s reported 2025–26 all-grades results are above the state figure in ELA, math and science. Across the schools, the average is 80% in ELA, 81% in math and 74% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. The central takeaway is that these area-wide averages conceal substantial differences between schools, especially in math, where results span 49 points.

Saratoga High leads all-grades ELA at 90%, 11 points above the other eight schools’ average and 41 points above the state. Argonaut Elementary leads math at 93% and science at 83%—13 and 11 points above the other schools’ averages, respectively. At the other end, Prospect High is lowest in all three subjects: 59% in ELA, 43% in math and 46% in science. Those results are still 10, 5 and 10 points above the state figures, but trail the other schools’ averages by 24, 42 and 31 points. Same-grade comparisons also show differences: in eighth grade, Redwood Middle scored 24 points higher than Christa McAuliffe in ELA, 18 in math and 15 in science.

SchoolDigger ranks Argonaut and Saratoga Elementary at the 100th percentile in their category, and Saratoga High and Redwood Middle at the 99th percentile. Other factors offer context, not explanations: the 2024–25 free/reduced lunch-eligible share ranges from 3% at Argonaut and Redwood to 49% at Prospect.
