Summary

San Jose Street Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 638 students in Mission Hills, California, as part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, and it consistently achieves strong academic results for its students despite serving a community with significant economic need.

The school stands out for its effective use of resources, achieving higher test scores in math and science than both the district and state averages while spending less per student than many nearby schools like Telfair Avenue Elementary and Sharp Avenue Elementary. It shows particular strength in science instruction and has been highly successful in supporting students with special education needs. Furthermore, the school has made impressive progress in getting students to attend class regularly, with a chronic absenteeism rate that is now much lower than the district average and better than most comparable schools, including Beachy Avenue Elementary and Plummer Elementary.

While the school performs well overall, it faces specific challenges in supporting English Language Learners. Its performance is strong when compared to schools with similar student demographics, though a nearby magnet school, Vintage Math/Science/Technology Magnet, achieves higher scores across subjects. San Jose Street Elementary has maintained stable, above-average performance for over a decade, demonstrating a reliable and effective learning environment for its community.
