Summary

Ida Jew Academies is a K–8 school in San Jose’s Mount Pleasant area, serving 435 students in the Mount Pleasant Elementary district. Its results point to a schoolwide academic challenge: in 2025–2026, proficiency was below the state in ELA (25% versus 49%), math (22% versus 38%) and science (18% versus 36%).

Math is a relative strength compared with the school’s other subjects and its district, but it is not strong compared with nearby schools overall. The school was about even with its district in math, while it trailed the district by 5 points in ELA and 2 points in science. Among nearby schools with current results, it ranked third of nine in math, fourth in ELA and fifth in science; its scores were 11 points below the nearby average in both ELA and math, and 12 points below in science. Fifth grade stands out as a weak spot: proficiency was 15% in ELA and 8% in math, lower than all but one nearby school reporting fifth-grade math. Fourth grade was a brighter spot, with the school’s highest results—33% in ELA and 38% in math—above district results by 6 and 9 points.

Scores have declined even as attendance improved: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency fell by 7 points in ELA, 6 in math and 7 in science, while chronic absenteeism dropped by 14 points, to 16%. SchoolDigger gives the school a 1-star rating at the 16th statewide percentile; nearby rankings vary widely, from the 5th to the 92nd percentile. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 19.9, below the nearby average of 23.2, and 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average of 68%. One notable group result is the drop in SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for English Language Learner Students: from the 67th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 17th percentile in 2023–2024, when the school’s overall ranking was at the 18th percentile.
