Summary:
The Summit Public School: Tahoma District in San Jose, California, consists of a single high school, Summit Public School: Tahoma, serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 383 students.
Summit Public School: Tahoma is a standout, high-performing institution that consistently ranks in the top 10% of all California schools, boasting a 97.3% graduation rate and a very low 0.9% dropout rate, both of which significantly outperform state averages. Academically, students excel, particularly in mathematics where proficiency rates are over 18 points above the state average, and the school has shown a positive trajectory by improving its state ranking and earning a 5-star rating.
While the school achieves these excellent outcomes with a diverse student population, a key area for attention is its chronic absenteeism rate, which at 21.7% is higher than the state average. Addressing this could help the school push its science scores, which are strong but closer to the state average than other subjects, even higher and maintain its model status as a highly effective high school.
