Summary

Millard McCollam Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 370 students in San Jose's Alum Rock Union Elementary district, where it stands out as one of the stronger academic performers compared to its immediate neighbors.

Academically, the school consistently outperforms its district averages in English, math, and science, and it maintains a lower rate of chronic student absenteeism than nearby schools like Linda Vista Elementary and Russo/McEntee Academy. However, when compared to high-performing schools in the neighboring Berryessa Union Elementary district, such as Noble Elementary, Millard McCollam's results are more moderate. The school benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio than some local charter schools, including Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep.

Recent years show a concerning decline in test scores and statewide ranking, with significant performance gaps between different groups of students, particularly affecting boys, students from low-income families, and those in special education. While the school's attendance is relatively good, this recent academic slide suggests challenges beyond just getting students to class, even as per-student spending remains higher than at many comparable schools.
