Summary

Voices College-Bound Language Academy at Mt. Pleasant is a K-8 public school serving 235 students in San Jose, operating as its own independent district with a strong focus on college preparation.

The school faces significant challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism rate of 44.6%, meaning nearly half the students miss a substantial amount of school, which is more than double the state average and far higher than nearby schools like Adelante Dual Language Academy (12.3%). Academically, proficiency rates are very low, with only 18.62% of students meeting standards in English, 15.75% in math, and a particularly concerning 2.22% in science, all of which are well below state averages and the performance of surrounding schools.

Despite spending a high amount per student ($25,876), the school's academic ranking has fallen dramatically from the 56th percentile in 2019 to the 11th percentile in 2025. This performance contrasts with other local schools, such as Rocketship Academy Brilliant Minds, which spends less per student but achieves much higher proficiency. The school also shows extreme fluctuations in student-teacher ratios and serves a student population with high economic need.
