Summary

Quimby Oak Middle is a well-regarded public school serving about 860 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Evergreen Elementary district in San Jose, consistently earning high state rankings and strong test scores that exceed California averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Quimby Oak holds a solid middle position within its own district: it performs notably stronger than George V. LeyVa Intermediate but trails the elite performance of Chaboya Middle. The school shines in its exceptional support for English Language Learners, who achieve some of the highest rankings in the state, and it maintains a very low rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is less than half the state average. It accomplishes this with lower per-student spending than many neighboring schools, suggesting efficient use of resources.

Quimby Oak demonstrates consistent performance even as its student demographics shift slightly from year to year. An interesting point is that eighth graders at the school consistently outperform seventh graders in core subjects, indicating good academic growth during their time there. While not the absolute top performer in its immediate area, Quimby Oak is a strong, reliable school that excels in specific areas like supporting multilingual students and fostering excellent attendance.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, June 28, 2019

As a parent in year 2018-9 that this school needs to work on communication home to parents. They use teams and it is hard to understand what is going on. Also, I think this school has not figured out well how to use project-based learning teams. Two schools on site, one is Lobo School of Innovation and I am not sure but I believe there is vast grade inflation there and textbooks are not really used much at all, you can inquire for yourself. The other school, the traditional school, in my opinion, has excellent teachers who are seasoned and often retiring. These older teachers make up the best part about Quimby but I think the combining of the two schools is not working well. The project-based learning is experimental and used too much. Those are my opinions as a parent. Close Quote
