Summary

Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep is a public charter elementary school serving about 500 students in grades K-5 in San Jose, operating within its own Rocketship Fuerza Community Prep District and serving a community where many families face economic challenges.

When compared to other neighborhood schools in the Alum Rock Union Elementary district, such as San Antonio Elementary or Sylvia Cassell Elementary, Rocketship Fuerza stands out for its strong math scores and exceptional support for students learning English, achieving these results while spending less per student. It also shows more consistent performance across different student groups than some nearby schools. However, like its sister schools Rocketship Los Suenos Academy and Rocketship Si Se Puede Academy, it struggles with high rates of chronic student absences.

Parents should note that while the school performs well in many areas, it has specific challenges to consider. Science scores are notably low, and there is a significant drop in math performance by 5th grade that the school will need to address. Additionally, the school's overall state ranking has declined since before the pandemic and has not fully rebounded, and there is a performance gap between male and female students that may indicate a need for differentiated support.
