Schools

There is no doubt that many residents of Los Altos are here for the Award Winning Schools. Whether you have kids or not, our top rated schools keep your housing prices strong.

Every year since the California standardized test scores have been published, LASD has ranked #1 or #2 out of approximately 1000 school districts statewide. Recent rankings by the State Department of Education indicate that our schools are among the finest in the state. All of our schools are California Distinguished Schools and two schools have been chosen as national Blue Ribbon Schools. Clearly, the students of the Los Altos School District receive a superior education.
