Summary

Ida Jew Academies is a K-8 public school serving 435 students in San Jose's Mount Pleasant Elementary district, which faces significant systemic challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of California districts.

While the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, it is currently the highest-performing school among its immediate district peers like Mt. Pleasant Elementary and Robert Sanders Elementary, particularly in upper-grade math and science. The school shows a remarkable pattern of strength in 7th and 8th grades, outperforming both the district and state averages in several subjects, which is unusual compared to some nearby K-8 schools like Voices College-Bound Language Academy at Mt. Pleasant. Furthermore, Ida Jew has made impressive recent progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, bringing it below the state average.

Notable areas for attention include a dramatic performance gap between female and male students and a recent decline in outcomes for English Learners. When compared to high-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Norwood Creek Elementary in the Evergreen Elementary district, differences in student demographics, per-student spending, and attendance rates highlight the complex factors influencing school performance beyond a single school's control.
