San Jose Elementary

Public Grades K-8

5407^th

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 8% of California elementary schools

Summary

San Jose Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 511 students in the Pomona Unified district, operating in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school is facing significant challenges, with its statewide ranking falling into the bottom 8th percentile and proficiency rates in English, math, and science less than half the state average. A critical issue is chronic absenteeism, with 36.7% of students missing too much school, which is nearly double the state average and the highest rate among nearby schools. This school's performance has declined while other schools in the area with similar student populations, like Cortez Elementary and Barfield Elementary, achieve notably better results, demonstrating that outcomes can vary widely even within the same district.

Interesting patterns emerge when looking at different grades and student groups; for instance, 7th graders perform much better in English than younger students, and the school shows relative strength in supporting homeless students. However, the school's lower performance occurs despite per-student spending and class sizes that are comparable to or better than higher-achieving schools nearby, such as J. Marion Roynon Elementary in Bonita Unified. This suggests that improving daily attendance and learning from successful practices at peer schools are essential first steps for San Jose Elementary's improvement.
