Summary

Learning in an Urban Community with High Achievement (L.U.C.H.A.) is a K–5 school in San Jose’s Alum Rock Union Elementary district, serving 218 students in an urban community. In 2025–26, its students’ proficiency was 28% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math and 30% in science. The most important takeaway is that science is the school’s clearest relative strength, even though results remain below state averages in every subject.

Compared with the district, L.U.C.H.A. was 3 points lower in ELA, 2 points higher in math and 8 points higher in science. Statewide, it was behind by 22 points in ELA, 14 in math and 6 in science. Among nearby K–5 schools with results for the same year, L.U.C.H.A. had the highest ELA and science proficiency and the second-highest math result: 24%, just below Aptitud Community Academy at Goss at 25%. So, its local comparisons are encouraging, particularly in science, but do not erase the state-level gaps.

Results have shifted from year to year. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 9 points, ELA was essentially unchanged and science rose 1 point overall; science also rebounded sharply from 4% in 2024–25 to 30% in 2025–26 after earlier declines. SchoolDigger placed L.U.C.H.A. at the 22nd statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, versus the district’s 15th percentile and 1 star. It nevertheless ranked third among seven nearby schools with a ranking, and first among the five nearby K–5 schools. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner Students rose from the 7th percentile in 2021–22 to the 52nd percentile in 2023–24, a notable contrast with its overall standing. For context, the 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 21.8, near the nearby average of 22.7; 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, 3 points above the nearby average.
