Bullis Middle School Scores Top-Ten Statewide Ranking
Los Altos, CA · October 20, 2026
A grey ceiling is hanging over the foothills this morning, but local classrooms already have something to celebrate. Pull on an extra layer before heading out for your first cup.
The Lead
Bullis Charter School landed at No. 7 statewide among middle school programs in annual public school performance tables published Tuesday. Evaluating mathematics and reading proficiency data from across more than 2,000 campuses, the report placed the local school in the state’s top ten alongside neighboring institutions in San Jose and Cupertino. For neighborhood parents and educators, the benchmark affirms years of specialized STEM coursework, hands-on learning labs, and focused classroom interventions that helped buffer students from post-pandemic learning setbacks. Campus administrators now shift attention toward community informational tours scheduled over the coming weeks, offering prospective families an inside look at daily instructional routines before winter enrollment lotteries open.
