Summary

Rocketship Rising Stars is a K–5 school in San Jose with 621 students. In 2024–2025, 69% of students were proficient in math, compared with 37% statewide, and 56% were proficient in English language arts (ELA), compared with 49% statewide. Among 11 nearby schools with results, Rising Stars had the highest reported all-grades scores in both subjects. Its clearest strength is math: proficiency was 32 percentage points above the state and 11 points higher than the next-highest nearby school, Rocketship Spark Academy.

ELA is strong too, though Rising Stars’ lead is less pronounced: its proficiency rate was 7 points above the state, 6 points above Spark, and 23 points above the nearby-school average. Math was 41 points above the nearby average. These all-grades comparisons put the school at the top locally, but nearby schools serve different grade spans; Spark is the closest match because it also serves K–5. No district-level test results for Rocketship Rising Stars District were supplied, so a district comparison is not available.

Results over time are mixed: math rose by 3 points from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, while ELA fell by 9 points, narrowing the school’s advantage over the state. SchoolDigger ranked Rising Stars at the 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2024–2025, the highest nearby ranking, though its percentile has slipped 4 points since 2022–2023. The school also had the nearby group’s highest student-teacher ratio, 36.5 compared with an average of 22. In 2024–2025, 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, versus a nearby average of 74%; these figures are context, not explanations for scores. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students was especially high at the 96th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 81st overall. Its Asian Students ranking fell from the 89th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 60th in 2024–2025, 20 points below the school’s overall ranking that year.
