P. A. Walsh Steam Academy

This school is a part of Morgan Hill Unified School District

Morgan Hill Unified School District is currently in a state of academic success overshadowed by severe fiscal instability. While the district celebrates high-performing secondary schools and prestigious honors like the 2026 California Distinguished School award, it is simultaneously grappling with a $6.8 million structural deficit and declining community trust. There is a wide performance gap across its elementary portfolio, and while secondary graduation rates are exceptional, low proficiency in primary math and reading remains a concern. With leadership currently navigating budget cuts and a potential 2026 tax measure, the district represents a 'Mixed/Transition' profile characterized by strong terminal outcomes but significant operational and financial risk.
