Santa Clara County Office of Education

The Santa Clara County Office of Education, situated at 1290 Ridder Park Drive in San Jose, California, functions as an active, traditional public school district serving the heart of the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metropolitan region. Set within a vibrant large-city environment, this non-charter regional agency operates four public schools providing educational pathways that span from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district educates a total student body of 1,217 learners. While instruction encompasses all primary and secondary grade levels, enrollment expands significantly in the upper secondary years, culminating in a senior class of nearly 380 high school graduates receiving targeted academic and specialized preparation.

Reflecting the rich cultural diversity of the Silicon Valley region, the district’s student body includes 695 Hispanic students, 284 Asian students, 151 White students, and 59 Black students, alongside multiracial, Pacific Islander, and Native American learners. To address the specialized educational and administrative needs of its community, the agency operates with an exceptionally expansive staffing infrastructure. Supported by a full-time equivalent workforce of over 2,360 personnel—including approximately 268 classroom teachers, 542 instructional aides, and more than 1,550 dedicated support staff members—the organization delivers an outstanding level of individualized care, program oversight, and instructional support. Through its central San Jose facility and digital portal (sccoe.org), the Santa Clara County Office of Education continues to serve as an essential institutional resource for families, educators, and researchers alike.
