Summary

El Roble Elementary serves 551 students in grades K–5 in Gilroy, California. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 33% in ELA, 33% in math and 21% in science; each result was below both the state and Gilroy Unified results. The largest state gap was in ELA, where El Roble scored 17 percentage points below California; it was 6 points behind the state in math and 15 points behind in science. The central finding for families is that the school’s results trail state and district benchmarks in every tested subject.

Among six nearby Gilroy Unified K–5 schools, El Roble ranked third-lowest of seven in ELA and math and second-lowest in science. The peers averaged 38% in ELA, 37% in math and 29% in science, putting El Roble 5, 4 and 8 percentage points below those averages, respectively. Math is its strongest subject relative to the district and nearby schools: its 33% result was nearly level with the district’s 33%. Science is the weakest against nearby peers and the district, while ELA has the largest gap to the state. Fifth grade stands out as a concern: ELA was 28% and math 25%, compared with 38% in fourth-grade ELA and 40% in fourth-grade math.

Math proficiency rose 6 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while ELA gained 3 points and science ended 1 point below its starting result; science’s gap to the state widened from 8 to 15 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 23rd percentile with 1 star in 2024–2025 to the 32nd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 22.9, lower than the six nearby district schools with reported ratios, and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby-school average of 55%. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students ranking was at the 12th percentile in 2023–2024, versus the school’s overall 32nd percentile that year; its ranking for White Students fell from the 48th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 23rd in 2024–2025, matching the overall school ranking in that latest year.
