O. S. Hubbard Elementary

Public Grades K-8

5655^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 3% of California elementary schools

Summary

O. S. Hubbard Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 427 students in San Jose's Alum Rock Union Elementary district, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 3% of all California elementary schools with proficiency rates well below state averages in English, math, and science.

The school's performance has declined dramatically over the past decade, and it struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5%, which is strongly correlated with lower academic achievement. Interestingly, other nearby schools with similar student demographics achieve much better results; for instance, Alpha: Cornerstone Academy Preparatory ranks in the 79th percentile statewide, and Adelante Dual Language Academy II maintains strong attendance and better academic outcomes, suggesting that specific school programs and strategies can make a substantial difference.

Despite higher per-student spending than some neighboring schools, Hubbard's outcomes remain poor, indicating a need to re-evaluate how resources are used. The data shows that improvement is possible, as demonstrated by higher-performing schools in the area, and would likely require targeted efforts to improve attendance, adopt proven instructional models, and ensure consistent teaching quality across all grade levels.
