Summary

Taylor (Bertha) Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 497 students in the Oak Grove Elementary district of San Jose, ranking in the top quarter of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its strong and steady academic results, particularly in science where it leads most nearby schools, and for its excellent management of student attendance, which has improved faster since the pandemic than both the district and state averages. Compared to other schools in the same district like Sakamoto Elementary and Anderson (Alex) Elementary, Taylor (Bertha) Elementary shows remarkable year-to-year stability in its high ratings.
