of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of California elementary schools

Summary

Stevens Creek Elementary serves 407 students in grades K–5 in Cupertino, within the high-performing Cupertino Union School District. Its test scores are far above California averages, but that statewide advantage does not make it a local leader: among nearby K–5 schools, its results are in the middle for English and math and lower for science.

The school’s clearest strength is its large lead over the state: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 28 percentage points higher in English language arts (ELA), 44 points higher in math, and 37 points higher in science. However, it scored slightly below its district in all three subjects—by 2 points in ELA, 1 in math, and 2 in science. Against 10 nearby K–5 schools, it ranked fifth in ELA and math, and eighth in science; the local comparison makes science its clearest relative weakness.

Results have been mixed over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency fell 7 points despite rebounding 4 points in the latest year, ELA was nearly unchanged, and math rose 1 point. Stevens Creek Elementary still holds a strong statewide position: SchoolDigger ranked it 207th of 5,804 California schools, at the 96th percentile with five stars in 2025–2026, though it ranked seventh among the 11 nearby schools. Its student–teacher ratio was 20.3 in 2024–2025, the third-lowest in that group, and 13% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 statewide ranking placed the school’s effectiveness for White students at the 74th percentile, compared with its overall 95th percentile. For Asian students, its ranking improved from the 70th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 82nd in 2025–2026, while the overall ranking rose from the 95th to the 96th percentile.

This school is really bad. The pavement is uneven and dangerous with gravel that can be a potential safety hazard. The basketball courts suck and the field is filled with weeds and other non-grass plants. It's like theres no janitors or maintenance. Buildings are also extremely run down.

The good part is that theres no bullying in my experience. Close Quote
