Los Altos School District is an elementary school
district in northwest Santa Clara County serving students in grades
kindergarten to eighth (K-8). The district boundaries include most
of the City of Los Altos, half of Los Altos Hills, parts of Mountain
View, Palo Alto and some unincorporated county lands. Los Altos
School District was founded in 1909.
An elected five-member board of trustees governs
the district. The superintendent, Tim Justus, runs the day-to-day
operations of the district. The district is a public agency governed
by the laws of the State of California.
Our teachers, classified staff and administration
are dedicated individuals and committed to ensuring that every child's
educational needs are met everyday.
We are supported by parents who are passionate
about their child's education. Their involvement in and support of
our Los Altos Education Foundation and the very active P.T.A.'s at
each school truly make a difference in the programs we offer our
students.
Every year since the California standardized
test scores have been published, LASD has ranked #1 or #2 out of
approximately 1000 school districts statewide.
Recent rankings by the State Department of Education indicate that
our schools are among the finest in the state. All of our schools
are California Distinguished Schools and two schools (Bullis-Purissima
and Santa Rita) have applied for and been chosen as national Blue
Ribbon Schools. Clearly, the students of the Los Altos School District
receive a superior education.
