Summary

Los Alamitos Elementary is a consistently top-rated K-5 public school serving 602 students in the San Jose Unified district, known for its strong academic performance and exceptional student attendance.

The school significantly outperforms both its district and state averages, with over 73% of students proficient in English and over 75% in math. A key strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.9%, which is less than a third of the district average and indicates high levels of student engagement. While serving all student groups well, the school has shown some variability in results for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, which is an area for potential focus. It's also worth noting that math scores show a dip in 5th grade, a pattern seen at other local schools like Reed Elementary.

Compared to nearby schools, Los Alamitos stands out for its decade-long consistency in the 91st-95th percentile statewide. While excellent, it is not the absolute top performer in the immediate area; Williams Elementary (also in San Jose Unified) scores higher across all subjects. Interestingly, schools in the neighboring Union Elementary district, such as Guadalupe Elementary and Noddin Elementary, achieve similar high performance with different resource models. The analysis reveals extreme disparities within the San Jose Unified district itself, with schools like Almaden Elementary and Allen at Steinbeck ranking significantly lower, highlighting that high achievement is possible across different community contexts.
