Buyers often move from Walnut Creek and further east for commute proximity, schools and milder summer weather. Join many young families who move from San Francisco, East Bay, South Bay and Marin seeking a great community to raise their families and best public schools for their kids.

Message From AUHSD Superintendent
Based on the 2006 California Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR) results released today, AUHSD ranks as the highest scoring high school district in the state with an Academic Performance Index (API) of 882, up from 869 in 2006.
These scores strongly indicate that the continuous improvement efforts and commitment of our teachers, support staff, administrators, and community do make a difference in student learning and achievement. Our staff carefully analyzes all of the assessment data to identify areas for future growth. While we are successful, we must continually focus on making certain that all students meet our academic standards.
All AUHSD schools demonstrated academic growth on this state-mandated measurement. Miramonte High School joins Campolindo High School in the select group of high schools scoring above the 900 mark on the API. A score of 800 is considered exemplary on the state's 1,000-point scale. Acalanes, Las Lomas, and Del Oro High Schools also demonstrated impressive gains.
Thank you to our generous commmunity for your support and congratulations to our teachers, students and staff. I look forward to working with you as the District continues the important work of improving and enhancing its instructional program.
