Redwood Middle

Redwood Middle is a public school in Saratoga, California, serving 647 students across grades 6 through 8. It earns an overall composite score of 8.9/10 — an "Excellent" rating that puts it near the top of California's public school landscape. The school ranks #43 of 1,349 middle schools in California and outperforms 96% of all public schools statewide, results that hold across every grade it serves.

Academic performance is the clear standout. The academic score of 9.5/10 sits near the upper ceiling of the rating scale, reflecting strong test results across core subjects. Growth comes in at 7.7/10 — above average, but trailing the academic score.

That gap suggests students who arrive with solid preparation and sustain it through middle school rather than posting sharp gains from one year to the next. The student-teacher ratio is 18.5:1. Redwood operates as a regular public school with no selective admissions, which makes its ranking all the more significant: these results come from a neighborhood student body, not a filtered one.

Within Saratoga's nine public schools, Redwood ranks fourth.
