School Overview

Thomas Russell Middle sits in the heart of Milpitas, a city that's quietly become one of the Bay Area's most academically driven communities, with families who prioritize education and take school performance seriously. Scoring at the 95th percentile across English, math, and science, Russell delivers the kind of across-the-board academic strength that appeals to families raising kids who are college-bound from an early age. With Silicon Valley literally in the backyard and a culturally diverse, tight-knit community surrounding it, this is a school where academic ambition feels like the norm rather than the exception.
