Elementary Schools in Alum Rock Union Elementary

Summary:

This analysis examines 17 elementary schools within the Alum Rock Union Elementary district in San Jose, California, serving grades from kindergarten through 8th, with most being K-5 schools and one kindergarten-only early learning center.

Parents will find significant variation in performance across the district. Standout schools include Adelante Dual Language Academy for its strong upper-grade English scores, Millard McCollam Elementary as the top overall academic performer, and Ben Painter Elementary for exceptional math results. Adelante Dual Language Academy II has the district's best attendance rate. In contrast, schools like O. S. Hubbard Elementary and A. J. Dorsa Elementary face considerable academic challenges and higher chronic absenteeism.

Key district-wide insights show that higher spending does not automatically mean better outcomes, as seen at the Cesar Chavez Early Learning Center. Attendance is strongly linked to success, and science is the weakest subject area overall. While the district as a whole performs below state averages, the pockets of excellence at top schools demonstrate what is possible within the community.
