Santa Clara Unified

The Santa Clara Unified School District consists of 30 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 6 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students in the Santa Clara, California area. The data reveals significant disparities in performance and demographics between the district's schools, with some standout institutions like Millikin Elementary and Washington Open Elementary ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle to meet state averages.

The district's high schools have four-year graduation rates ranging from 92.3% at Santa Clara High to 83.7% at New Valley Continuation High. Dropout rates vary widely, from 4.7% at Adrian Wilcox High to 39.1% at Wilson Alternative.

While some schools like Mission Early College High and the aforementioned elementary schools excel academically, others struggle, with performance on state assessments falling below state averages. The data suggests that the district could benefit from a closer examination of its resource allocation and support systems to ensure more equitable outcomes for all students across the Santa Clara Unified School District.
