Summary:
The Rocketship Mateo Sheedy Elementary District in San Jose contains a single elementary school, Rocketship Mateo Sheedy Elementary, serving grades K-5 with 454 students, most of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Rocketship Mateo Sheedy Elementary shows a clear strength in mathematics, where student proficiency exceeds the California state average. However, performance varies significantly by grade, with fourth graders performing notably well in both math and English, while third graders score below state averages. The school's science scores are a particular area for improvement, as they fall well below the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced a gradual decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.
Key challenges for the school include a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than the state average, which can impact learning, and a high student-to-teacher ratio. Despite these challenges and serving a high-needs community, the school's ability to outperform in math is a positive sign. Parents should note the variability in performance across different grade levels when considering their child's educational journey at this school.
