Summary

Carolyn A. Clark Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 497 students in San Jose's Evergreen Elementary School District, a well-regarded area where the school has consistently been a strong performer over the past decade.

The school stands out for its excellent student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 5.2%, which is less than half the district average and a key factor in its solid academic results. While its test scores in English and Math are good, placing it in the 87th percentile statewide, it finds itself in the middle tier among its high-achieving neighbors; it outperforms schools like Cedar Grove Elementary and John J. Montgomery Elementary but trails top performers like James Franklin Smith Elementary and Tom Matsumoto Elementary. Notably, the school has shown a recent decline in its statewide ranking and in scores for some student groups, which is an area for attention.

Carolyn A. Clark serves a community with lower economic need than many nearby schools, which often supports stable performance, and it has historically excelled in teaching English Learners. The school's strengths in attendance and community engagement provide a strong foundation, though comparisons within the district suggest there may be opportunities to leverage these advantages to reach the academic levels of the highest-performing schools in the area.
