Summary

Theuerkauf Elementary is a K-5 public school with 308 students in the Mountain View Whisman School District, serving a diverse community in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Academically, Theuerkauf is an average-performing school statewide, currently ranking at the 50th percentile, but its performance has declined in recent years. Its test scores in English and math are below the district average, though science is a relative strength. The school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which, while improved, is higher than the district average. Notably, there are significant performance gaps, with students from low-income families and Hispanic students scoring far below their peers, while the school has historically been effective with English Language Learners.

The school's context is striking when compared to its neighbors. Just 0.12 miles away, Stevenson Elementary ranks in the 98th percentile, while Mariano Castro Elementary, less than a mile away, ranks much lower. This shows extreme variation within the same district. Interestingly, schools like Gabriela Mistral Elementary and Jose Antonio Vargas Elementary outperform Theuerkauf despite similar or greater economic need among their students, suggesting school-specific practices significantly impact outcomes.
