San Benito High School had the highest enrollment among San Benito County schools, welcoming 3,465 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the California Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.8% of them were girls, 49.1% were boys, and 0.1% identified themselves as non-binary or did not specify their gender.

Among the 24 schools in San Benito County, Hollister Dual Language Academy ranked second in enrollment numbers with 847 students, while Ladd Lane Elementary School welcomed 776 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

San Benito High School is part of San Benito High School District, which roughly covers schools within San Benito County and has a main office in Hollister.
