The Berryessa Union School District operates ten elementary schools (K-5) and three middle schools (6-8) in Berryessa, San Jose, California, USA. The district's superintendent is Will Ector. The previous Superindendent was Marc Liebman, who was formerly a principal education consultant for IBM.[1] The Berryessa schools have tended to improve over the last decade,[2] with the top performer, Ruskin Elementary School, having an API (Academic Performance Index) of 903 (out of 1000) as of Fall 2008.[3] 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.[4] At Sierramont Middle School, Piedmont Middle School, and Morrill Middle School, there is a Berryessa Chinese School.[5] The district also has an American football team called the Berryessa Cougars.[6]
