Create an innovative public school system that stimulates intellectual curiosity, providing academic rigor for each and every learner, and instills leadership, responsibility and global citizenship in a safe and nurturing environment where learners thrive.

We measure success in student outcomes and achievement, professional growth, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Quick Facts
- Establishment: SUSD was established in 1865, following the establishment of the City of Saratoga in 1856.
- Boundaries: Covering approximately eight square miles, SUSD proudly serves about two-thirds of Saratoga, portions of Monte Sereno and Los Gatos, and unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County.
- Enrollment: Because the City of Saratoga is served by four elementary districts (Saratoga Union, Campbell, Cupertino and Moreland), school assignment depends on your home address. You can easily verify your district by visiting our School District Finder page.
- Location: Located in Santa Clara County and nestled against the backdrop of the Santa Cruz Mountains, our District offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and accessibility. We are just minutes from State Route 85 as well as Interstates 101, 280 and 880, making us easily reachable from anywhere in the Bay Area. Our location provides easy access to employment opportunities throughout the greater Bay Area in the fields of technology, biomedicine, higher education and others.
