97^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,740 California Middle Schools

Better than 96% of California middle schools

Summary

Chaboya Middle serves 815 students in grades 7–8 in San Jose, where nearby schools include middle and intermediate schools. In 2025–2026, 80% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 76% in math, and 66% in science. The most important finding for families is that Chaboya had the strongest results among nearby schools with current-year scores in every tested subject and grade.

Chaboya’s advantage is especially large in math: its results were 37 points above California and 16 points above the Evergreen Elementary district. It led the state by 31 points in ELA and 30 in science, and the district by 16 and 13 points, respectively. Compared with the strongest nearby results, from Quimby Oak Middle, Chaboya was ahead by 15 points in ELA, 16 in math, and 11 in science. Science is its smallest relative advantage, but its 66% result remains well above the state, district, and nearby comparison. Within Chaboya, 7th-grade math proficiency was 79%, compared with 73% in 8th grade.

Results remain high, though the trend is mostly flat or slightly down: since 2022–2023, ELA fell about 2 points, while math and science were essentially unchanged. As state scores rose, Chaboya’s leads over the state narrowed by 5 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 6 in science. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 96th percentile with 5 stars, down from the 98th percentile in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024. Its SchoolDigger ranking for how well it serves Hispanic students is lower, at the 58th percentile and 3 stars, down from the 84th percentile in 2023–2024; for students receiving special education services, it is at the 61st percentile and 3 stars. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 22.5:1, near the high end of the nearby range. The school’s reported free/reduced lunch eligible rate that year was 16%, the lowest among nearby schools, whose rates ranged from 30.5% to 86.8%; these figures are context, not an explanation for results.
