The mission of Saratoga High School is to optimize the learning of each student. As a community of learners committed to excellence, we promote lifelong learning, personal integrity, social responsibility, and good physical and mental health. Saratoga High School, with an enrollment of approximately 1400, is located in an upper middle class professional community in Silicon Valley. Over 97% of our graduates enroll in college. The California Department of Education and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) jointly accredit the school. Their reports consistently commend key aspects of Saratoga High School: the curriculum for its academic rigor, the students for their active involvement in the school and community, and the staff members for dedication to their work and to their students. Thirty-two percent of our current senior class is either semifinalists or commended students in the National Merit Scholarship Program.
