Summary

Frost (Earl) Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 313 students in San Jose, part of the Oak Grove Elementary district, and represents a solid, mid-performing option with a consistent 3-star rating that ranks in the 66th percentile statewide.

The school performs above state averages in English and Math, manages student attendance very well with a low chronic absenteeism rate, and has notably strong third-grade results. However, it faces clear challenges, particularly in science education where scores lag, and there is a significant performance drop in fifth grade. Recent data also shows a need for focused support for Special Education students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Compared to nearby schools, Frost (Earl) Elementary outperforms others with higher poverty rates like Parkview Elementary and Anderson (Alex) Elementary, but trails behind schools with similar or lower poverty levels such as Sakamoto Elementary and Oak Ridge Elementary.

A particularly interesting finding is the comparison with Indigo, a K-8 school that shares the same address but achieves higher test scores and lower absenteeism, highlighting how different programs or enrollment can lead to different outcomes in the same location. Overall, Frost is a stable school with specific strengths in attendance and early grades, but parents may want to inquire about its science curriculum and supports for upper-grade students.
