Summary:
Zip code 95134 has one listed middle school, Dolores Huerta Middle, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 571 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade ELA proficiency was 50%, close to California’s 49%, while math was 31% and science 29%, each about 7 percentage points below the state. Compared with Santa Clara Unified, the school was also lower in all three subjects: by 11 points in ELA, 19 in math, and 22 in science. The clearest takeaway is that ELA is near the state level, but math and science are the biggest overall gaps.
Within the school, grade 7 is the strongest standout and grade 8 the clearest weak spot relative to California. Grade-7 ELA proficiency was 61%, 10 points above the state’s 51%; grade-8 ELA was 40%, 9 points below the state’s 49%. The contrast also appears in math: grade 7 was 40%, 3 points above the state, while grade 8 was 27%, 9 points below. There is no second school in the list, so these results cannot identify a leading or trailing school across the zip code.
Recent results are mixed, with science moving most sharply in the wrong direction: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school ELA rose 1 point, math fell 1 point, and science fell 7 points; statewide, science rose 3 points. SchoolDigger’s school percentile declined from 62 in 2023–2024 to 55 in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 13%, below the state’s 18% and the district’s 14%. Other context: the school had a 19.6 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025, and 37% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger rates the district—not the school—at 4 stars, rank 224 of 968, in the 77th percentile.
