The Berryessa Union School District is a school district based in the Berryessa district of San Jose, California. It operates ten elementary schools (K-5) and three middle schools (6-8). The district's superintendent is Dr. Roxane Fuentes. The Berryessa schools have tended to improve over the last decade,[1] with the top performer, Northwood Elementary School, having an API (Academic Performance Index) of 903 (out of 1000) as of fall 2008.[2] In 2011, Vinci Park Elementary School had the largest API increase in district history, having a 48-point increase. Graduates from the middle schools (Morrill, Sierramont and Piedmont) normally attend Piedmont Hills High School or Independence High School. Notable students include Jerry Yang, who is the co-founder and former CEO of Yahoo!, who went to Sierramont.[3] He also attended Ruskin Elementary School prior to Sierramont and later attended at Piedmont Hills High School. At Sierramont Middle School, Piedmont Middle School, and Morrill Middle School, there is also a Berryessa Chinese School.[4] The district also has an American football team called the Berryessa Cougars.[5] [6]
