Summary

Latimer is a 491-student K–8 school in San Jose, serving the Moreland district. Its 2025–26 results show a mixed picture: all-grade English language arts (ELA), math, and science proficiency are above California averages, but only ELA is above the district average. Middle-school ELA is a particular strength, while fourth grade is the clearest concern. In fourth grade, Latimer falls below the state in both ELA and math: 43% versus 46% in ELA, and 36% versus 42% in math.

ELA is Latimer’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, while math and science are weaker comparisons. Latimer’s all-grade proficiency is 65% in ELA, 51% in math, and 48% in science; nearby-school averages are 61%, 60%, and 55%, respectively. Latimer ranks sixth among nine nearby schools with results in each subject. Compared with district results, Latimer is 3 points higher in ELA, but 6 points lower in math and 7 points lower in science. Its overall results are nevertheless above state averages in all three subjects. The grade-level pattern adds detail: eighth-grade ELA reaches 84%, while fifth-grade results trail the district in ELA, math, and science.

Scores have risen since 2022–23: ELA increased by 6 points, math by 7, and science by 13. The state gaps widened over that period, though Latimer’s math and science deficits to the district narrowed. SchoolDigger rates Latimer at the 70th percentile with four stars; six of ten nearby schools with current rankings are higher. Latimer’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio of 19.7 is the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures. Its 2024–25 share of students who were free/reduced lunch eligible was 48%, higher than all but two nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable improvement for Hispanic Students: their percentile rose 24 points, from 36 in 2023–24 to 60 in 2025–26, though it remains below Latimer’s overall 70th percentile. English Language Learner Students had a notably higher 91st percentile in 2023–24, compared with 72 overall that year.
