Summary:
The Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep District in San Jose contains a single elementary school, Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep, serving about 500 students in grades K-5.
This school shows a mixed academic profile, with its performance in mathematics (40.5% proficient) exceeding the California state average, while English Language Arts (42.08%) is slightly below and science (15.38%) is significantly lower. A closer look reveals notable differences between grade levels; for instance, third graders excel in math compared to their peers statewide, but this advantage disappears by fifth grade. The school serves a community with high economic need, with over 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Parents should note that the school has a very high student-to-teacher ratio and a chronic absenteeism rate above the state average, which are areas the school is likely working to address. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently placing it in the middle of all California schools. The school's stronger results in early-grade mathematics suggest effective foundational teaching, but the steep decline in upper-grade math and the low science scores indicate these are key areas for potential growth and support.
