of 2,761 California Middle Schools

Better than 96% of California middle schools

Summary

Chaboya Middle is a top-performing public school for grades 7-8 in San Jose, serving about 815 students within the highly-rated Evergreen Elementary district, and it consistently ranks among the very best middle schools in the entire state of California.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with over 75% of students proficient in math and English, significantly outperforming other schools in the area. For example, its proficiency rates are dramatically higher than nearby George V. LeyVa Intermediate in the same district. Chaboya also excels at supporting all students, with historically strong results for English learners and students from lower-income families, and it maintains very low chronic absenteeism, indicating high student engagement.

What makes Chaboya stand out is its sustained excellence and efficiency; it achieves these elite results with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than many comparison schools, including nearby charter schools like KIPP Heartwood Academy. While the school demonstrates a successful model, recent data shows some performance declines for specific student groups, such as those in special education, which the school community may want to explore. Overall, Chaboya represents a benchmark for consistent, high-quality public education in the region.
