Summary:
The Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep District consists of a single public charter elementary school, Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep, serving grades K-5 with 506 students in San Jose.
This school shows a clear strength in mathematics, where its students perform above the state average, especially in the early grades, which is notable given that it serves a high-needs population. However, performance drops significantly by 5th grade across all subjects, with science scores being particularly low compared to the state. The school has maintained a stable, average state rating over the past two years, but faces a challenge with chronic student absenteeism that is higher than the state average.
For parents, Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep demonstrates effective foundational math instruction but suggests families should inquire about academic support for students transitioning to upper grades and the school's strategies for improving attendance and science education. The school's per-student spending is relatively high, though class sizes are also large, indicating resources may be directed toward specialized programs or supports.
