Who We Are

 

Prospect High School (PHS) is a four-year, public, Title 1, comprehensive high school, located on the west side of Santa Clara Valley, better known to the world as “Silicon Valley.” Our campus of thirteen buildings and six portables spreads over twenty-nine acres. Located within the city limits of Saratoga, Prospect is at the crossroads of the tenth largest city in the United States, San Jose, and smaller suburban communities. The majority of our students reside in the communities of San Jose (85%), Campbell (10%), and Saratoga (4%).

 

Prospect is at the crossroads of the tenth-largest city in the United States and several smaller communities, and our student population reflects those demographics. Prospect has a population of approximately 1,550 students, 72 certificated staff (teachers, admin, and counselors), and 28 support staff (clerical, custodial, cafeteria, and aides). Our class size average is 32 students per academic class. We stress a standards-based curriculum in an atmosphere that is safe, challenging, and supportive.
