Summary

Alexander Rose Elementary is a public elementary school in Milpitas, California, serving 516 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Milpitas Unified School District, which is ranked 223 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

While Alexander Rose Elementary has some areas of strength, such as its performance with homeless students, the school faces several challenges. Its test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the district and state. When comparing Alexander Rose to nearby schools within the Milpitas Unified School District, schools like Curtner Elementary, Mabel Mattos Elementary, and John Sinnott Elementary consistently outperform it in test scores and other key metrics.

The performance gap becomes even more pronounced when comparing Alexander Rose to schools in the neighboring Berryessa Union Elementary School District, such as Northwood Elementary, Majestic Way Elementary, and Laneview Elementary, which generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
