Summary:

ZIP code 95127 has six high schools, serving 3,344 students in total; five serve grades 9–12, while Foothill High serves grades 11–12. Enrollments range from 261 to 998 students. The latest test results are available for four schools, and the biggest takeaway is how much results vary by school: ELA scores range from 0% to 68%.

KIPP Navigate College Prep stands out at the top of the latest results, leading in ELA, mathematics and science with 68%, 56% and 33% proficient. It is also above state rates in ELA and mathematics by 18 points in each subject, though its all-grades science result is 3 points below the state. Mt. Pleasant High is next in ELA and science; its 50% ELA result is 1 point above the state. At the bottom, Foothill reports 0% in ELA and mathematics and 1% in science; its chronic absenteeism is 83%, compared with the state’s 18%. James Lick High is below state rates in all three subjects, with results of 41% in ELA, 16% in mathematics and 20% in science. Escuela Popular/Center for Training and Careers Family Learning and B. Roberto Cruz Leadership Academy have no 2025–2026 test results in this data.

Among the four schools with results in both years, average scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 2 points in ELA, 9 in mathematics and 5 in science, though individual schools differed: KIPP improved in all three, while Foothill fell in ELA and science. SchoolDigger gives KIPP four stars (78th percentile), Mt. Pleasant and James Lick two stars (40th and 34th percentiles), and Foothill zero stars (2nd percentile). KIPP and Foothill had similar reported free/reduced lunch eligible shares in 2024–2025—76% and 77%—alongside very different outcomes; their student–teacher ratios were 11.8 and 16.1. These figures are context, not an explanation for the results.
