Summary

El Toro Health Science Academy is a public K-5 elementary school serving 456 students within the Morgan Hill Unified school district, which ranks in the middle of all districts statewide.

The school presents a mixed picture, with some notable strengths alongside recent areas of concern. It has made excellent progress reducing chronic student absenteeism to match state averages, and its mathematics instruction is a relative strength, outperforming the district average and several nearby schools like San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy and P. A. Walsh STEAM Academy. However, the school's overall statewide ranking dropped significantly this year, driven by a dramatic decline in science proficiency and widening performance gaps for some student groups. This contrasts with higher-performing district schools like Paradise Valley Engineering Academy and Nordstrom Elementary, which serve similar grade levels.

When compared to other local options, El Toro's academic results are lower than several schools with similar per-student spending, such as the exceptional Charter School of Morgan Hill. Parents may want to investigate the reasons behind the recent test score declines, particularly in science, and ask about the school's plans to address these challenges while building on its successes in mathematics and attendance.
