Summary:
ZIP code 95139 has two schools in Martin Murphy Middle (grades 6–8) and Los Paseos Elementary (grades K–5), both part of Morgan Hill Unified. Their 2025–2026 results differ substantially, so a single area-wide picture would miss important school-to-school variation; the biggest split is in science.
Los Paseos stands out in the all-grades results, leading Martin Murphy by 5 percentage points in ELA, 8 in math, and 23 in science. Los Paseos is 2 points above the supplied state figure in math and 12 above in science, though 6 below in ELA. Martin Murphy is below its supplied state figures in all three subjects: by 11 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 11 in science. Grade-level results add nuance: Los Paseos fifth graders are 6 points above state in ELA and 13 above in science, while Martin Murphy sixth-grade ELA is 18 points below state. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades figures are not a same-grade comparison.
Recent results moved in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Los Paseos gained 2 points in ELA, 10 in math, and 10 in science; Martin Murphy fell 5 points in ELA and was essentially unchanged in math and science. SchoolDigger’s latest rank percentiles were 57 for Los Paseos and 44 for Martin Murphy; each moved from the prior year, rising 10 points and falling 9, respectively. Their 2024–2025 student–teacher ratios were similar, at 22.2 and 22.5. For 2024–2025, 41% of Los Paseos students and 46% of Martin Murphy students were free/reduced lunch eligible, a 5-point difference; these figures describe context, not a cause of school results.
