Academics

Saratoga High School is consistently designated a top academic high school.[2][3] It is one of two schools in the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District, which is ranked the Best School District in California.[3]

Saratoga High School has a four-year Project Lead the Way engineering program,[4] and is ranked No. 23 in the U.S. for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).[5] The school offers 35 honors and Advanced Placement courses.[6]

The graduation rate is 99%, and 97% of students attend college.[4] It is jointly accredited by the California Department of Education and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.[6]

Student enrollment averages around 1300, with a student-teacher ratio of approximately 20:1. It is a diverse high school, with total minority enrollment of 75%.[5] The school community includes families that speak 39 languages.[6][citation not found]

In 2017, Saratoga High School was named a California Gold Ribbon School for the strength of its Student Support Programs and its focus on Social Emotional Learning.[4][7]

Activities

Athletics

Saratoga Falcons

The Saratoga Falcons compete in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League (SCVAL) of the CIF Central Coast Section (CCS).

More than 60% of students participate in Saratoga High School athletics.[4] From 2015 to 2020, every varsity team competed in the CCS playoffs; titles and runners up were earned in Boys and Girls Tennis, Boys and Girls Basketball, Boys Cross Country, Boys Volleyball, and Badminton. In addition, individual medals were won in Wrestling and Boys and Girls Track and Field.[4] In 2019, the Boys Golf Team finished No. 4 in California. Boys Volleyball won two Northern California championships in 2016 and 2017.[4]

Saratoga Football has won five CIF Central Coast Section championships: 1973, 1976, 1980, 1987, 1996.[8] The team formerly played night games at Los Gatos High School; in April 2006, the Trustees of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District approved permanent lights for the football field.[9]

SHS Baseball won a Division II CCS championship in 1999.[10]

In 2009, the girls' varsity tennis team defeated rival Monta Vista High School 5-2 for their first CCS championship in the history of the program and went on to win the title again in 2010.[11]

Performing Arts is a strong area of achievement at Saratoga High School. Almost 40% of students perform onstage through theater arts, vocal ensembles and instrumental music.[4] The Saratoga Strings orchestra performed in the prestigious Midwest Clinic International Band and Orchestra Conference in Chicago, Illinois in 2018 and 2023.[12] The Marching Band and Color Guard marched in the 2016 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California.[13] The Marching Band participated in the 2012 Macy's Parade in New York City.[14]
