Summary

Curtner Elementary is a 663-student K–6 school in Milpitas, California, part of Milpitas Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were above the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science. Among eight nearby K–6 schools, Curtner ranked first in ELA, second in math, and fourth in science—making its top-tier performance across all three subjects its clearest distinction.

ELA and math are Curtner’s strongest areas compared with nearby schools, while science is a relative weak spot despite being well above the state. Curtner scored 78% in ELA, 81% in math, and 59% in science—about 9, 17, and 2 points above the district, and 29, 43, and 23 points above California, respectively. Its results also exceeded nearby K–6 averages by 12 points in ELA, 17 in math, and 4 in science. Third-grade math is a standout: Curtner reached 95%, compared with 86% at nearby Mabel Mattos Elementary. Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism was 3% at Curtner, the lowest among nearby schools, compared with 4% at Marshall Pomeroy Elementary.

Over four years, ELA and math changed little, rising 2 and 1 points, while science fell 7 points, from 66% to 59%; its advantage over California also narrowed. SchoolDigger ranked Curtner 284th of 5,804 California schools, at the 95th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026. That was just below Mabel Mattos at the 96th percentile. Curtner’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 25.5, the highest among nearby schools with reported ratios. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 24% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s reported standing for Hispanic students was notably below the overall result: the subgroup ranked at the 72nd percentile, up from the 33rd percentile in each of the prior two years, compared with the school’s overall 95th percentile. Its reported standing for Asian students was also lower, at the 74th percentile.
