Student Demographics

Student Enrollment

The total enrollment at Santa Clara High School is 1830 students, making it a
large high school, in the top 25% of all California high schools by size.

Attending Santa Clara High will feel like attending a small college. You’ll have a few hundred students in your class, enough to provide an interesting set of activities, sports, and classes to try. But compared to the largest high schools in California, the student body size won’t be overwhelming.

Growth in Student Body Size

Is Santa Clara High School growing or shrinking? This will help you see trends in where the school is headed.

From our calculations, the enrollment at Santa Clara High has
increased over the past few years. We calculate this by comparing enrollment in grades 9 to 12.

As you can see in the table above, the freshman class is 64 students larger than the senior class. This suggests that the school is growing in size and taking on more students.

There are a few reasons this could be happening. The city of Santa Clara could be growing in population, thus sending more students into Santa Clara High. Alternatively, Santa Clara High could be relaxing its student policies and taking in more students.

Gender Split

Are there more boys or girls at Santa Clara High School?

From our statistics, Santa Clara High has a 51:49 split between male and female students in the high school grades.

Santa Clara High has a balanced male-female ratio that’s largely representative of the general population in Santa Clara County. Since the student body is roughly half and half, it should feel like there are equal numbers of boys and girls in your classes.

This usually means that Santa Clara High doesn’t strongly select for either males or females, unlike other schools that have a large majority of males or females.

Ethnicity Breakdown

What’s the racial diversity at Santa Clara High School? Does one ethnicity make up most of the student body, or is it fairly balanced?

From our statistics, Santa Clara High has a
diverse student body. No single ethnicity composes more than 50% of all students, which means you’ll be surrounded by a diverse set of students in class. Only a third of California schools show this much diversity.

The most common ethnicity at Santa Clara High is
Hispanic. In California, 51.5% of all students are Hispanic, making it the most common ethnicity. Even though Santa Clara High is relatively diverse, students of Hispanic descent are the most common ethnicity here.

High schools usually reflect the population in the surrounding area, so the ethnicities of students likely resembles those of Santa Clara. If you’d like to see how other nearby schools look in diversity, just google “[name of school] prepscholar” to find our guide to that specific school.

Income Level of Santa Clara High Families

What are the family incomes of students at Santa Clara High School? To determine this, we look at the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunches, a classification by the US federal government.

To qualify for a reduced price meal, family income needs to be below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $45,000 or below.

To qualify for a free meal, family income needs to be below 130% of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of 4, this means an income of around $32,000 or below.

The lower the percentage of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals, the higher the income levels are likely to be.

At Santa Clara High, 11.0% of students qualify for reduced-price lunches, and 33. 9% qualify for free lunches.

This means Santa Clara High has a
below average level of poverty. With most students not qualifying for free or reduced price lunches, Santa Clara High is below average among California schools in poverty level. The income level of families in Santa Clara is thus likely to be relatively high.

As with ethnicity, this likely reflects the surrounding community in Santa Clara and doesn’t speak much about the school itself.

Santa Clara High is in the middle 50% of schools by income level. Generally, higher income level schools are better-funded and have a higher quality range of classes and activities. Santa Clara High is likely in the middle of the pack in this regard and will give you a good set of options to try.

If you have any interests that Santa Clara High doesn’t cover, look to your local community for activities, or to the Internet for self-study AP classes.

School Safety

How safe is Santa Clara High School to attend? Can you expect a lot of conflict as a student here?

To study this, we look at disciplinary data for two types of incidents at Santa Clara High: referrals to law enforcement (when incidents are reported to police), and arrests.

These are the most serious disciplinary actions available to school administration and are more severe than suspensions or expulsions. Suspensions are often discretionary and can be given just for being disruptive in class. In contrast, law enforcement referrals and arrests often indicate incidents that put the safety of other Santa Clara High students at risk.

In the school year of 2011-2012, there were 2 referrals to law enforcement (0 male, 2 female), and 4 school-related arrests (4 males, 0 females). This is out of a total enrollment of 1891 students.

To put this into perspective, most California schools (59% of them) reported 0 law enforcement referrals and arrests.

This means that 0.3
Santa Clara High
is a safe school. For every 100 students, there is much fewer than 1 law-enforcement related action. It’s not a perfect record, but it happens so infrequently that it might have just been a few bad apples.

With this record, is Santa Clara High School significantly different from other schools in the area? It could be that Santa Clara High has an especially bad record, or it could be that the local area shows a pattern.

Compare this school with other high schools in the same school district, using the following table:

Academic Performance

Now we get to a major aspect of assessing a high school: academic performance. How good of an education will you get at Santa Clara High School? Will you be competitive for college? Will you have access to advanced classes?

We’ve compiled everything we could find about Santa Clara High’s academics here.

Graduation Rate

To start off, an important benchmark of academic achievement is graduation rate. For all students who start high school at Santa Clara High, the state of California wants as many students to graduate as possible, since a high school diploma can mean a big difference in getting a job.

At Santa Clara High,
93%
(of 421)
Santa Clara High students graduated within four years of starting high school.

Here’s how this stacks up to other schools. The California state government has defined 90% as a target rate. The state average is around 80-85%.

Santa Clara High is in the 81st percentile of all public high schools in California for graduation rate. This is well above average. Generally, a graduation rate of above 90% is considered good and well above average, and below 75% is well below average.

Note: This data comes from a few years back, but the trends are likely to stay the same, since schools don’t get significantly better or worse within a short period of time.

Standardized Testing

Next, we’ll look at another major piece of high school academics: standardized testing performance for Santa Clara High School students. These are tests that are administered to large populations of students for comparison purposes.

Let’s start by taking a look at the data for nationally administered standardized tests.

SAT Scores

As you probably know, the SAT is a critical test used for college admissions. The higher the score you get, the better your academic performance compared to students nationwide, and the easier it is to get into top colleges.

We did in-depth research and found the average Santa Clara High School SAT scores.

The average composite SAT score is a 1530 out of 2400, compared to a national average of 1500. Each year, roughly 308 at Santa Clara High take the SAT.

This is an average SAT score, putting Santa Clara High School right around the national average. Because the SAT measures academic achievement, this suggests that Santa Clara High will offer a fairly standard high school education, neither strongly lacking or outperforming.

Note, however, that this is just an average – the top students can still exceed the average significantly. If you can rise far above your school average, you’ll have a great shot at entering a strong college.

Here’s a breakdown of SAT scores by section:

Average SAT Scores (2013-2014)

Note that the SAT has since changed to a 1600 scale, but the trends above for your high school are likely to continue. Just use this guide to convert between the old 2400 scale and the new 1600 scale.

ACT Scores

In California, the ACT is less popular than the SAT. Fewer students take the ACT, and typically these students are more motivated and academically prepared for college. Therefore, it’s harder to compare Santa Clara High School ACT scores with the rest of the country.

At Santa Clara High, the average ACT composite score was 22, compared to the nationwide average of 20. Each year, roughly 88 out of 1830 total students take the ACT.

This is above average performance, putting Santa Clara High in the top 50% of California high schools. Since the ACT tests what you learn in school, these ACT scores are a good indication that you’ll get an above-average education at Santa Clara High.

Here are the average English, Math, Reading, and Science scores for Santa Clara High compared to California and the US:

Average ACT Scores

Santa Clara High	22	24	22	22
California	21. 8	22.8	22.3	21.7

Advanced Placement (AP)

Advanced Placement (AP) classes are college-level courses that are an additional academic challenge may give Santa Clara High School students credit for college.

Here’s what we’re looking for: high average AP test scores as well as high AP passing rates.

AP Scores

Every year, roughly 293 students in grades 9-12 at Santa Clara High take 503 AP exams. It’s important to understand how students score on the AP – earning a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP test means passing the test and often earning college credit.

The average score of all AP exams taken at Santa Clara High is 3.1 out of 5.

This is a solid achievement showing above average performance. The majority of students get a passing grade of 3 or above, placing them above the national average. This performance places Santa Clara High School in the top 25% of schools for AP tests.

Santa Clara High therefore has a robust AP program with classes that will help you pass the AP exam. Furthermore, a sizable number of students still earn a 4 or a 5 on their AP tests, so if you’re motivated to do well, you can still get a great AP score.

We have specific data on how many students got a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (out of 5) on AP exams in the chart below:

AP Test-Taking Statistics

Another way to gauge the quality of a school’s AP program is to see how many AP students actually took AP exams at Santa Clara High School. If a lot of students enroll in AP courses but don’t actually take the AP tests, it can be a sign that students don’t feel adequately prepared to take the test, or the school isn’t encouraging students to take the exams enough.

At Santa Clara High, there is a total enrollment of 428 in AP courses (a student taking more than one AP course counts more than once).

Of AP-taking students, 147 took AP tests for ALL AP courses. 58 students took AP tests for SOME AP Courses, and 226 took AP courses but took NO tests.

This is bad test participation. Most AP students at Santa Clara High School take the AP exam for NONE of their AP courses. This is an unusual situation, as the goal of an AP course is typically to take the standardized national AP test.

What you want to figure out is why so many students take AP courses but end up not taking the course. Do they not feel comfortable enough taking the AP test, knowing they may not pass? Or is it hard for Santa Clara High students to take AP courses? Good people to ask are your counselors and AP teachers.

Hopefully, you may find that there are just logistical issues with taking AP tests that you might be able to overcome. However, you may also learn that the AP courses at Santa Clara High don’t prepare students well enough for the test, which reflects poorly on the AP program at your school. If the AP resources available to you don’t give you confidence, consider self-studying to prepare for the AP test.

Note: The most recent data we have available is from 2012, so the statistics may have changed since then. Most likely, however, the trends are likely to continue – above average schools are likely to stay above average, and below average schools are likely to stay below average.

AP Passing Rates

For AP students at Santa Clara High School who take the exam, it’s important to know how they do. Here we have specific data on how many students got a passing grade (a 3 or above) on all, some, or none of the AP exams that they took.

Of all AP test takers, 111 students passed every AP test they took, which is a fantastic job. 31 students passed some but not all AP exams, and 51 students didn’t pass ANY AP exam they took.

This is very strong performance. The majority of Santa Clara High School students pass ALL the AP tests they take – an impressive feat, especially if students take multiple AP exams each year!

Overall, this points to a strong AP program at Santa Clara High: across all AP course offerings, teachers are able to prepare students well for the exam. There are still some students who fail some or all of their exams, but this is a good starting point to improve from. You’ll have a strong foundation to learn from throughout high school.

To find out the passing rates for specific AP courses at Santa Clara High School, you’ll have to talk to your guidance counselor (who can then help you find that information). For instance, one AP Calculus teacher may have an above-90% passing rate, while another might only have a 50% passing rate. If you can, you’ll want to take the class with the teacher who has more students get a 3 or above on the AP exam.

Find out more about the average score for each AP subject here.

State Tests

As of 2014, eleventh graders attending Santa Clara High School must take standardized tests in English/Language Arts and Math as part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). These align with the new Common Core standards and are called the “Smarter Balanced” tests.

If Santa Clara High students meet or exceed state standards, they’re academically prepared to graduate high school and go to college. Specifically, we care about the percentage of students who meet or exceed state standards. The larger this number, the higher the preparation of students at Santa Clara High.

English/Language Arts

At Santa Clara High School, 42% of students meet or exceed state standards in English/Language Arts.

This is considered below average and puts Santa Clara High in the bottom 50% of all high schools in California for English/Language Arts. The majority of Santa Clara High students do not pass state standards, and only a small percentage pass.

This specific percentage isn’t much cause for concern – because the Common Core is new, the pass rate at Santa Clara High will likely rise over time. But it still reflects Santa Clara High’s below average standing among California high schools.

English/Language Arts Test Results (2015)

Read more about what’s measured in each ELA area score here.

Math

The other major test taken for state assessments is Math. Across the state, Math performance is generally lower than English/Language Arts performance, so it’s natural for this number to be lower.

At Santa Clara High School, 31% of students meet or exceed state standards in Math.
This is considered well below average and puts Santa Clara High in the bottom 25% of all high schools in California. The vast majority of Santa Clara High students don’t meet state standards, and only a small percentage pass.

Academic Offerings

In addition to the standard high school curriculum, many high schools like Santa Clara High School offer advanced coursework as part of the Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) programs.

Brief Intro to AP/IB

AP and IB courses are designed at the difficulty level of college introductory classes. There are several important benefits to taking advanced coursework at Santa Clara High. First, taking more advanced classes shows colleges that you’re committed to challenging yourself academically, and that you’re one of the more advanced students at Santa Clara High. Taking AP/IB classes also raises your weighted GPA and makes you a stronger college applicant.

Furthermore, many colleges will accept your Santa Clara High AP/IB coursework as college coursework. In some cases, you’ll be able to skip introductory-level classes and move to more advanced classes. In other cases, you’ll be able to avoid having to take required courses and might even be able to graduate earlier than the standard 4 years. Often this will require you to pass the AP test, getting a score of 3 or above.

So what advanced courses does Santa Clara High School offer?

AP Courses

Santa Clara High School offers AP courses in 15 subjects.

This is a reasonable number of AP subjects, putting Santa Clara High School in the top 50% of California schools that offer AP courses. You’ll likely have access to some of the most popular math and humanities AP subjects, as well as a few others.

The total number of AP subjects is 38, so Santa Clara High is missing a large number of subjects, including some popular ones. If there are any AP courses you want to take that aren’t being offered at Santa Clara High, ask your counselor for ideas on how to cover the gap.

Of course, keep in mind that quality matters even more than quantity – even if Santa Clara High doesn’t offer every AP course under the sun, the classes might still be taught very well. You can see student performance in the AP score analysis section above.

The following AP courses were offered at Santa Clara High during 2015-2016:

Sports Teams

Finally, we’ll cover which sports teams are available at Santa Clara High School. Sports are an integral part of many students’ high school experiences. The more sports that are available, and the more levels supported (Frosh, JV, Varsity), the more likely you’ll be able to participate in a sport at Santa Clara High.

By the way, the Santa Clara High mascot is the Bruins. Go Bruins!

Santa Clara High School fields 13 teams for girls’ sports.
This is a sizable number that puts Santa Clara High in the top 50% of California schools that offer girls’ sports. You won’t get the full range of sports and levels, but you’ll be able to try out for a few options. If you participate in a sport that Santa Clara High doesn’t offer, consider looking for a local non-school team that you can join.

And now for the boys: Santa Clara High School fields 20 teams for boys’ sports.
This puts Santa Clara High in the top 50% of California schools that offer boys’ sports. You won’t get every sport and level possible here, but you’ll have a decent number of options. If you participate in a sport that Santa Clara High doesn’t offer, consider looking for a local non-school team that you can join.

About

See what students say:

Academics

Located “in the heart of Silicon Valley,” Santa Clara University is a mid-size Jesuit school that blends “the Jesuit philosophy of social justice” with access to “the tech capital of the world. ” That proximity means “job opportunities are never-ending,” and that students have easy access to a “great alumni network.” Overall, undergrads note that “academics are challenging but not unbearable,” mentioning popular majors in business, art, and engineering. Taking advantage of its prime location, the school offers opportunities outside the classroom as well-“Students…get involved on all levels, whether it be on campus, domestically, or internationally.” This is achieved through “clubs, immersion trips, fellowship programs,…and study abroad” programs. These initiatives serve to offer a “holistic curriculum [that] encompasses all aspects of knowledge,” one undergrad says. Faculty members take the same approach, and one student notes that professors “are caring about not just the students’ learning, but their lives outside of the classroom.” A few students comment that some professors are “only teaching because they have to in order to do research,” but the general impression is one of “qualified and knowledgeable” industry professionals who are “leaders in their fields. ” One student offers a summation of praise: “Good academics, great professors, beautiful campus.”

Student Body

Santa Clara Broncos say their peers are “collaborative,” “caring,” and “helpful.” Many comment on the “strong sense of community” created by students who are “willing to work and help each other accomplish success in their areas of study.” And while “the academic scene is very competitive,” the majority of people “here are interested in helping others and working together to create positive change in the world.” Many “students come from the Bay Area” and are “mostly upper-class people from private schools,” and while the consensus is that SCU’s student body is “not diverse,…[it is] generally very positive and welcoming.” It is “a warm and inclusive atmosphere,” one undergrad says. Politically, “the school is fairly liberal but also has a big conservative base to it.”

Campus Life

The Santa Clara campus is always buzzing with activity because “students are highly involved in at least one aspect of university life, whether it be academic commitment, extracurricular activities, career development, or social networking. ” Fitness is a popular focus of choice: Most days you’ll “see people packing the gym” because Broncos “love to work out.” Of course, this is if they find the extra time-students are often “engaged in internships” or “studying in the library, socializing in the student center, or hanging out in their…residence halls.” And because “the weather here is absolutely amazing,” people “are usually outside…for studying, reading, [or] relaxing.” Although Greek life is not sanctioned by the university, students note that “Sorority and fraternity culture is prevalent (but not dominating), and that involves a lot of partying,” one student says. Others add, “there are a lot of parties going on throughout the week,” but say it is balanced with “nondrinking on-campus alternatives.” Beyond campus, “SCU is a stone’s throw away from [the mountains and beach in] Santa Cruz, San Francisco, [and] Lake Tahoe.” It’s a “great local area [with] so much to do,” declares one happy student.

Campus

Over the past century, the Santa Clara University campus, located along El Camino Real in Santa Clara, has expanded to over 104 acres (0.4 km ² ; 0.2 sq mi ). Among the many Mission style teaching and residential buildings are the historic mission gardens, rose garden and palm trees. The campus enjoys the benefits of a Mediterranean climate, with over 300 days of sunshine a year.

Until 1939, the law school occupied modern St. Joseph Hall in the center of campus. Under the direction of Dean Edwin Owens, Bergin Hall was built and became home to the school at 1939 year. The new building was built with money raised from the successful performances of the Santa Clara Football Club in Sugar Bowl and is named after Thomas Bergin, Santa Clara’s first graduate, a California legal pioneer and one of the law school’s early donors.

The Edwin Heafy Law Library was built in 1963 and expanded in 1973 to include more space for library materials. Heafy was refurbished and expanded again in 1988. The collection contains over 400,000 volumes in print and digital formats. ^[35] In addition, the library manages an institutional repository which currently contains over 4,000 digital materials, including a collection of documents related to the congressional hearings regarding the Watergate scandal donated by Congressman Don Edwards. ^[36] Other online collections include documents relating to litigation under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) and the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. ^[37]

In 2018, the School of Law moved into Charney Hall, a new $60 million building built specifically for the School of Law. ^[38] The 96,000 square foot building is a significant improvement over the school’s existing facilities, which are located in very different buildings, one of which was built a century ago. By contrast, Charney Hall resembles neighboring Silicon Valley tech campuses with plenty of open space, natural light, cutting-edge classroom technology, great student comfort, and flexible spaces that promote collaboration and innovative learning. ^[39]

How the Maltese school system works

What are the types of schools. There are three types of schools in Malta: state, church and private. Children of foreign citizens can also study in international schools.

All educational institutions are accredited by the Ministry of Education of Malta.

Stages of learning. As in Russia, education in a Maltese school takes 11 years. The process consists of two stages:

11 years old

full school education in Malta

1. From 5 to 11 years old – primary education.
2. From 11 to 18 years old – secondary education.

All children between the ages of 5 and 16 are required to attend school. The requirement is fixed by the Law on Education. Accordingly, school can be completed at 16 after the ninth grade. But if a child plans to enter a university, he, as a rule, graduates from 11 classes.

Calendar and schedule. The school year in Malta starts on 26 September. A child goes to the first grade in the year when he turns five years old.

Holidays are provided during the academic year:

• three days in November;
• two weeks for Christmas and New Year – usually from December 23rd to January 6th;
• two days in February or March during the carnival;
• two weeks in April for Easter.

Children also have a rest during public holidays.

Starting June 1, schools will switch to shortened lessons. The academic year ends on June 28, after which summer holidays begin.

Curriculum in Maltese schools

Education in primary school is built in accordance with the National Education Program adopted in 2012. Five hours a week is devoted to Maltese, English and mathematics. There are also lessons in natural science, fine and applied arts, social science, computer science and physical education.

Secondary school is divided into two periods. The first two years, seventh and eighth grades, all students study general subjects. From the ninth to the eleventh grade, it is allowed to choose two subjects that will be studied in depth.

Classes in secondary school can be general or specialized, with in-depth study of the humanities or natural sciences and mathematics. The program necessarily includes lessons in Maltese and English. There are also lessons in physics, physical education, history, geography, fine arts, and social science.

You can choose a foreign language: depending on the school, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic are taught in Malta. As a separate discipline, seminars are held on personal, social and career growth.

Religion and ethics are taught in both primary and secondary schools according to the canons of the Catholic Church. But the subject is optional for children of foreign citizens and immigrants. Upon notification of the parents, the child is exempted from attending religious classes, and free time can be spent, for example, in the school library.

What language is taught

Malta has two official languages, Maltese and English.

In government and church schools, instruction is usually in Maltese, except for English lessons. Textbooks are also published in Maltese or English depending on the subject.

Lessons in private and international schools are more often taught in English.

If your child is not fluent in Maltese and English , they can enroll in an introductory program when they enter primary school. It lasts a year and involves in-depth study of languages, in addition to other primary school subjects. The beginning of the academic year for students under the introductory program is October 1.

What exams do students take in Maltese schools

From grades 1 to 3, students do not take exams, but are graded throughout the year in reading, writing and numeracy.

Fourth and fifth grade students take exams in Maltese, English, Math, Social Studies and Religion at the end of the school year. If a child has not attended religion classes, he is exempted from the exam.

Sixth graders complete primary school and take final exams at the end of the year in Maltese, English, Mathematics, Social Studies and Religion (if applicable). To successfully pass the exam, you need to score a certain number of points – it is set at the national level.

If a student does well in exams and scores well, they will be able to enter a more prestigious high school. Most students go to a secondary school, which is tied to their place of residence and primary school.

At the end of the ninth grade , students take exams for a certificate of basic secondary education.

Eleventh graders of take exams in Maltese, English and Mathematics, as well as in selected subjects for admission to the university. Exams correspond to the International Baccalaureate system – International Baccalaureate, IB. Graduates receive a certificate of complete secondary education. The certificate is issued in accordance with the first three levels of the Maltese and the Common European Qualifications System.

There are public schools in most localities of the country. Schools are combined into self-government units – colleges. The college includes several elementary and high schools located in one region of the country. When a child graduates from elementary school, he or she will move on to middle school, which is part of the same college as the elementary school.

Pupils do not buy textbooks and school supplies – they are given out at school. You can get to school and home by free bus. Parents independently provide the child with only a school uniform and stationery.

Everything an investor needs to know about Residence Permit, Permanent Residence and Citizenship in Malta

Large classes. There are up to 26 children in one class. Only in practical classes, for example, when conducting experiments in a laboratory, the simultaneous presence of up to 16 students is allowed.

Maltese Church Schools

Church Schools are owned by the Maltese Catholic Church but are regulated by the Maltese Ministry of Education. In 2021, there are 27 elementary and 22 secondary church schools in the country with accreditation from the Maltese state.

Separate education for boys and girls in church schools.

Free education. There is no tuition fee: it is covered by the state.

Enrollment and education costs for the child. Parents make an annual contribution that covers part of the school’s expenses for the education of the child. Each school sets its own fee.

The contribution is considered a charitable donation for which church schools are not accountable to the state. Some schools make contributions entirely voluntary, leaving the amount up to parents.

The average amount of charitable contribution in church schools is from 150 to 600 € per child per year. Parents also buy textbooks, school supplies and uniforms.

Enrollment quotas. Getting into a church school is harder than getting into a public school. Enrollment takes place not at the place of residence, as in a public school, but at the request of the parents. At the same time, most church schools limit the number of students, so newcomers sometimes have to wait in line for admission. Some schools hold a lottery among applicants.

Teaching language in private and international schools – English. At Malta Crown School, teaching is also conducted in Russian.

Tuition fees. A year of study in a private or international school will cost an average of 6000-9000 €. For example, a year of full boarding for an elementary school at the Malta Crown costs about €7,500, and an IBDB high school costs about €15,000.
