Woodside High

Woodside High sits in one of the most scenic corners of the Peninsula, where redwood-lined roads and equestrian properties give the town a distinctly unhurried feel despite its proximity to Silicon Valley. The school draws a genuinely mixed student body — from longtime local families to those who've moved into the area for the tech corridor access — and tends to shine particularly in math and science, which fits the regional culture well. Families who want a less pressure-cooker atmosphere than some neighboring districts, but still want solid academics and strong STEM footing, often find Woodside High to be a comfortable fit.
