Summary

Silver Oak Elementary is a top-performing K-6 school serving 469 students in the Evergreen Elementary district of San Jose, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 97th percentile of all California elementary schools.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with over 80% of students proficient in both English and Math, far exceeding state and district averages, and it supports all student groups effectively. A key strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.7%, which indicates strong student engagement and family support. Furthermore, Silver Oak has maintained this elite status for over a decade, demonstrating stable excellence even through recent challenges, and it achieves these outstanding results with efficient per-student spending compared to some nearby schools.

Within its own high-achieving district, Silver Oak is among other standout schools like James Franklin Smith Elementary, Tom Matsumoto Elementary, and Evergreen Elementary. However, performance can vary significantly between schools even in the same area, with others like John J. Montgomery Elementary ranking much lower. Schools in neighboring districts such as Oak Grove Elementary and Franklin-McKinley Elementary generally do not perform as well, highlighting the strength of the Evergreen district overall.
