Summary:
The city of San Martin, California is home to a single elementary school, the San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy, which serves grades K-8 and has a total enrollment of 679 students.

The San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy stands out for having the lowest student-teacher ratio (20.3) among the 8 elementary schools in the Morgan Hill Unified School District. However, the school's academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with a 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 30.43% compared to 36.78% for the district and 42.96% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.5%, which may be impacting academic outcomes, and a majority (57%) of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Overall, the data suggests that the San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy faces several challenges in supporting the academic success of its students. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, community engagement, and a focus on equity will be crucial for improving outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all students. The school's unique focus on environmental science may be a valuable aspect of its educational program, but further investigation is needed to understand its impact on student learning and engagement.
