Summary:

This analysis covers 41 elementary and K-8 schools within the San Juan Unified district, revealing a wide spectrum of academic performance and school environments for families to consider.

Standout high-performing schools include Mariemont Elementary and Green Oaks Fundamental Elementary, which achieve proficiency rates well above district and state averages, while schools like Dyer-Kelly Elementary and Howe Avenue Elementary face significant academic challenges. Schools with "Fundamental" in their name, such as Green Oaks, Harry Dewey Fundamental Elementary, and James R. Cowan Fundamental Elementary, consistently perform strongly, and chronic absenteeism is a clear indicator, with schools like Del Dayo Elementary showing low absence rates alongside high achievement.

Overall, the district performs below state averages, but successful models exist, such as Cambridge Heights Elementary which performs well with a diverse student population, and specialized programs like the one at Thomas Edison Language Institute K-8 excel in Spanish proficiency. K-8 schools show mixed results, and there is no clear link between higher per-student spending and better academic outcomes in this district.
