Summary

Norwood Creek Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving about 530 students in San Jose's Evergreen Elementary district, ranking in the top 10% of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its strong and balanced academic results, with students outperforming both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. It shows remarkable effectiveness across different student groups and has made incredible progress in improving student attendance, with its chronic absenteeism rate now less than a third of the state average. Furthermore, it achieves these excellent outcomes while spending less per student than many nearby schools, such as Cedar Grove Elementary, which is less than half a mile away but ranks significantly lower, demonstrating efficient use of resources.

While other schools in the district like Tom Matsumoto Elementary and Evergreen Elementary rank slightly higher, they also serve fewer students from lower-income families. Norwood Creek's consistent top-tier performance over the past decade, coupled with its dramatic attendance improvement, suggests a very positive and effective school environment. An area for potential growth is in upper-grade math scores, which dip slightly compared to its strong lower-grade performance.
