Summary

Loma Prieta Elementary serves 259 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Gatos, California, an area with several nearby schools that also rank highly statewide. Its 2025–2026 results are above California’s proficiency rates in all three subjects, but the most important local finding is that ELA is a clear weakness compared with nearby schools: Loma Prieta had the lowest reported all-grade ELA result among 11 schools.

Math is the school’s strongest subject against the state and its district, while ELA is its weakest locally. Loma Prieta had 78% proficiency in math, about 4 percentage points above the Loma Prieta Joint Union Elementary district and 40 points above the state; its 68% in science was 32 points above the state and 2 points above the nearby-school average. In ELA, its 68% was 4 points below the district, 19 points above the state, and 10 points below the nearby average of 78%. Grade-level results show a bright spot: fifth-grade ELA was 82%, compared with 62% in both third and fourth grades. The school’s fifth-grade result ranked third among nearby schools with reported scores, while its third- and fourth-grade ELA results were lowest in their nearby comparisons.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023 in math and science, but the latest ELA result fell sharply: ELA gained 2 percentage points over the period yet dropped 11 points from 2024–2025; math gained 6 points overall and fell 3 in the latest year; science gained 5 overall and rose 10 in the latest year. SchoolDigger gives Loma Prieta 5 stars and a 90th-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–2026, though six nearby schools with current rankings are higher. Its student–teacher ratio is 22.5, compared with a nearby average of about 21. In 2024–2025, 14% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 ranking for Special Education Students was at the 79th percentile, 15 points below the school’s overall 94th percentile; for White Students, the ranking rose from the 71st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 83rd in 2025–2026, describing how well the school serves that group.
