Summary

Benjamin Bubb Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 312 students in the Mountain View Whisman School District, consistently ranking in the top 10% of all California elementary schools.

Academically, the school significantly outperforms both district and state averages, with approximately 74% of students proficient in English and 72% proficient in Math. It maintains a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the district average and benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio and substantial per-student funding. Performance is strong and consistent across grade levels. However, a notable and concerning trend is a significant decline in academic performance for Hispanic students over the past few years, which the school will need to address.

When compared to nearby schools, Benjamin Bubb Elementary stands out within its district, outperforming peers like Jose Antonio Vargas Elementary and Edith Landels Elementary. Interestingly, the very high-performing Amy Imai Elementary, located less than half a mile away, achieves a higher statewide ranking. The analysis also reveals stark differences between the Mountain View Whisman district and the adjacent Los Altos Elementary district, where all schools rank in the state's top 5%.

Bubb Elementary has changed a lot since I attended school there, yet still contains the same charm. I attended school there from 1999 to 2005 and could not have asked for a better experience. I remember almost all of my teachers and the life lessons they taught us. Bubb brought the community together in such a magnificent way and has given me amazing memories to cherish. I met my lifelong best friends there and am truly grateful for the school. Anyone in the Mountain View, CA area knows how great of an elementary school Bubb really is. Close Quote
