Saratoga High won the Harvard–MIT Mathematics Tournament in 2011, becoming the first bay area school in the recent 20 years in HMMT history.
In 2015, Saratoga High School won the National History Bowl academic quiz competition.
The Saratoga Falcons compete in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League (SCVAL) of the CIF Central Coast Section (CCS).
Saratoga Football has won five CIF Central Coast Section championships: 1973, 1976, 1980, 1987, 1996. Because of complaints from residents, lights for the football field were not installed until 2006. In the past, the team has had to play at Los Gatos High School. In April 2006, the Trustees of the Los Gatos-Saratoga Joint Union High School District approved permanent lights for the football field. Nearby West Valley College has been blocked from both lights and even stadium seating since the campus was constructed in 1974.
SHS Baseball won a Division II CCS championship in 1999.
In 2009, the girls' varsity tennis team defeated rival Monta Vista High School 5-2 for their first CCS championship in the history of the program and went on to win the title again in 2010.
