Summary

Latimer is a K-8 elementary school serving 491 students in San Jose's Moreland School District, presenting a mixed academic profile with notable strengths and areas for growth.

The school excels in English Language Arts, outperforming state averages, and shows exceptional support for English Language Learner students. However, it faces significant challenges in mathematics and, especially, science, where its proficiency rate of 30% lags far behind nearby schools like Easterbrook Discovery (68%) and Country Lane Elementary (65%). Performance also varies widely by grade level, with strong 7th-grade ELA scores but much lower 5th-grade results. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than most district peers, and its statewide ranking has recently declined.

Latimer serves a student population with greater economic needs than several other schools in the Moreland district, such as Gussie M. Baker Elementary. While it spends more per student than some comparable schools, this has not yet translated to superior overall outcomes. Compared to top-performing schools in neighboring districts like Murdock-Portal Elementary in Cupertino Union, Latimer's results are more modest, highlighting the variability between local schools.
