Mt. Pleasant Elementary

Public Grades K-5

5056^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 13% of California elementary schools

Summary

Mt. Pleasant Elementary serves 172 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in San Jose, in the Mount Pleasant Elementary district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 22% in English language arts (ELA), 23% in math, and 13% in science, all below California’s rates. The most important finding is that the school trails the state in every subject, with its largest gap in ELA: 28 percentage points, compared with 16 in math and 23 in science.

Math is the school’s relative bright spot locally: its 23% proficiency was about level with the district’s 23% and above the 22% average for nearby K–5 schools with results. ELA and science were weaker against those nearby-school averages: ELA was 22% versus 23%, and science was 13% versus 16%. Results also differ by grade. Third-grade ELA proficiency was 29%, the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade, while fifth-grade ELA was 13%, the lowest among those reporting it. In third-grade math, however, the school was lowest among nearby reporting schools, at 19%. Local all-grade comparisons include schools with different grade spans, so they should be read with care.

Results have been mixed over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 4 percentage points and science fell 8, while math rose 3; the state gap widened in all three subjects. More recently, math increased 10 points in one year, while science fell 14. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 13th percentile and awarded it 1 star in 2025–26; its percentile was up from 10 the previous year, but down from 48 in 2015–16. SchoolDigger’s Male Students ranking was stronger than the overall ranking, at the 28th percentile versus 13th in 2025–26; its English Language Learner Students ranking was 42nd percentile in 2023–24, versus 14th overall that year. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.5, within the nearby range of 19.0–30.3, and 80% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. With 172 students, results may be more sensitive to year-to-year changes in the number tested.
