Summary

Russo/McEntee Academy is a 322-student K–5 school in San Jose, in the Alum Rock Union Elementary district. In 2025–26, its proficiency was 38% in English language arts (ELA), 25% in math and 27% in science—above district results in all three subjects, but below state results. Chronic absenteeism was 21%, higher than the district’s 17% and the state’s 18%. A notable concern is fifth-grade math: just 18% of students met the standard, the second-lowest result among nearby district schools.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength relative to nearby schools: its 38% result ranked second among seven schools, about 7 points above their average. Math was weaker, at 25%—about 2 points below the local average and fourth among the seven. Science reached 27%, about 3 points above the local average, also ranking fourth. The school exceeded district results by 8 points in ELA, 3 in math and 5 in science, while trailing state results by 11, 13 and 9 points, respectively. The fifth-grade math result was 4 points below the district and 19 below the state. ELA scores were steadier across grades, ranging from 38% to 39%.

Compared with 2022–23, results were up 6 points in ELA, 2 in math and 6 in science, though all three subjects fell short of their 2024–25 results in the latest year. The state gap narrowed over that longer period in ELA and science but widened in math. SchoolDigger ranked the school 3,918th of 5,804 in 2025–26, at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars; its overall percentile had fallen 13 points since 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s student-group ranking for special education effectiveness was notably lower, at the 4th percentile, compared with 32nd overall. Its ranking for how well it served English learners rose from the 15th percentile in 2021–22 to the 60th in 2023–24, though those group results do not cover the latest two years. For context, the 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 20.1, and 81% of students were free/reduced-lunch eligible.
