School Overview

Tucked into the redwood-lined hills between Silicon Valley and the Santa Cruz coast, Scotts Valley High draws from a tight-knit community that tends to value both academic achievement and an outdoor lifestyle. The school punches well above average statewide, with particularly strong math and science numbers that reflect the tech-savvy households many students come from. Families who want a smaller-town feel without sacrificing college-prep rigor — and who don't mind their kids growing up with hiking trails and surf spots equally close by — tend to find Scotts Valley a genuinely appealing place to land.
