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 1,000 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.

465 Benvenue Avenue is within the Covington Elementary School boundary which teaches children from Kindergarten through 6th grade.

If you have 7th or 8th grade children, they will attend Egan Junior High.  In 1988, 1990, and 2009, Egan was chosen as a California Distinguished School, and it has been reported as the public school with the highest STAR test scores in California numerous times.

For those families with 9th-12th grade students, Los Altos High School is a short walk, or bike ride away.

Please be sure to check with the district office to determine attendance availability at your neighborhood school.
