Which school goes with an address?
Use the Union school explorer for any address. Some homes with Los Gatos mailing addresses are in Union, not Los Gatos Union, which is exactly why the address check matters.

The school fields on a listing are typed in by the listing agent and are often blank or out of date. Always confirm with the district, in writing if it matters to your offer, and ask whether the school you want has room for new students.
high school
High school: mostly Campbell Union
Union students who live inside the Campbell Union High School District go on to Branham, Del Mar, Leigh, Prospect or Westmont High, assigned strictly by home address. Some addresses fall in other high school districts, so check with the CUHSD locator; the district calls it the only official source.
