Summary:
Milpitas Unified School District serves students in the South Bay Area with ten elementary schools, primarily for grades K-6, all of which significantly outperform California state averages in English, math, and science proficiency.
The district features several standout high-achieving schools, including Mabel Mattos Elementary, John Sinnott Elementary, and Curtner Elementary, which rank in the top 5-6% of all California schools and boast very low chronic absenteeism rates below 5%. In contrast, Robert Randall World Languages, the district's only K-8 school with a Spanish immersion program, has significantly lower standardized test scores and the highest chronic absenteeism among its peers.
While the Milpitas Unified district as a whole is strong, there is notable variation between schools; for example, Marshall Pomeroy Elementary has the district's best attendance at 2.7% chronic absenteeism, while academic performance tends to be higher at schools with lower percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending is highest at Robert Randall, suggesting resources may be directed to address specific program needs or student populations.
