Summary

El Roble Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 551 students in the Gilroy Unified School District, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom quarter of all California elementary schools.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are well below both district and state averages, and it has a high rate of chronic student absences. While it receives more funding per student than other nearby schools in the district, its academic results are middling. Performance is low across all grade levels, with particular concerns for male students and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It's important to note that the entire Gilroy Unified district faces challenges, ranking in the 44th percentile statewide.

Interesting comparisons exist with other local schools. For instance, Rucker Elementary, a school in the same district with a similar student population, achieves better academic results. A more striking contrast is the nearby charter school, Gilroy Prep (a Navigator School), which serves a similar demographic but achieves dramatically higher test scores with slightly less funding per student. Within the district, higher-performing schools like Luigi Aprea Elementary and Las Animas Elementary also outperform El Roble.
