Summary:

The Oak Grove Elementary district in San Jose serves about 8,000 students across 18 schools, including 15 elementary and 3 middle schools, with performance varying significantly from some of the area's top performers to schools that need substantial support.

Standout schools include Herman (Leonard) Intermediate, the district's highest-rated school with exceptionally strong test scores, and Santa Teresa Elementary, the top elementary performer. The unique K-8 Indigo school also excels, boasting the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Christopher Elementary and Davis (Caroline) Intermediate are the lowest-ranked, with very low proficiency rates in core subjects.

Key takeaways show a strong link between student attendance and academic success, with schools having lower absenteeism consistently performing better. There is also a puzzling disconnect between funding and results, as the highest-funded school has the worst outcomes. The district slightly outperforms the state average in math and science but is just below average in English. For parents, this means researching individual school performance is crucial, as the educational experience can differ greatly within the same district.
