Summary

Leroy Anderson Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 377 students in the Moreland School District of San Jose, and it faces significant academic and attendance challenges while serving a community with high economic need.

The school's academic performance, with about one-third of students proficient in English and Math, is notably lower than both the district and state averages and lags far behind nearby schools like Easterbrook Discovery and Country Lane Elementary. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, affecting nearly 24% of students, which is double the district average and higher than most neighboring schools. Interestingly, Discovery Charter, located just a tenth of a mile away, has much higher test scores and a lower absentee rate, highlighting stark differences within the same neighborhood.

Despite these struggles, the school spends more per student than many higher-performing peers and has shown past strength in supporting English Language Learners. When compared to a school with a similar high-needs population like Rosemary in the Campbell Union district, Leroy Anderson performs better academically, suggesting it is managing its specific challenges with some effectiveness.
