Summary:
Zip code 95128 in San Jose, California, contains one public high school, Del Mar High, which serves grades 9-12 within the Campbell Union High district.
Del Mar High serves a large student body of 1,350 and faces significant economic challenges, with nearly 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school maintains a graduation rate above the California state average and performs better than the state in English Language Arts and Science. However, a major area of concern is mathematics proficiency, where at 17.74%, student performance falls dramatically below both district and state averages. The school's overall state ranking has also declined over the past three years.
With spending per student well above the national average, parents may question how resources are being used to address these academic gaps. The school's dropout and chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the district average, suggesting attendance could be a key area for improvement. For families in the area, Del Mar High shows resilience in supporting a high-needs population to graduation but requires targeted focus, particularly in mathematics, to improve student outcomes.
