of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 20% of California elementary schools

Summary

Allen at Steinbeck is a K–5 elementary school in San Jose, serving 406 students in the area around San Jose. In 2025–2026, 27% of students were proficient in English language arts, 26% in math and 21% in science. Each result was below the state and San Jose Unified rates. The clearest takeaway for families is that Allen’s proficiency was among the lowest of nearby schools in all three subjects.

Compared with the nine nearby schools with scores, Allen was lowest in ELA and second-lowest in math and science; Terrell Elementary was just below it in math and science. Allen’s results were 21 percentage points below the nearby-school average in ELA, 19 points below in math and 22 points below in science. Math was its strongest subject relative to the state, district and nearby averages, while ELA was its weakest against the state and district. Fifth-grade ELA is a relative bright spot: Allen’s 32% proficiency there was above Terrell’s 14%, though below the other three comparable nearby schools.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA was nearly unchanged at 28% and 27%, math fell from 31% to 26%, and science dropped from 49% to 21%. SchoolDigger ranked Allen at the 20th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, up from the 14th percentile in 2023–2024 but still below nearby schools with rankings; Terrell was next at the 22nd percentile. Allen’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was a comparatively low 17.9, against a nearby-school average of 22.0. That year, 69% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure; the average was 39%. California is identified in the data as a state where all students receive free school meals, so this eligibility figure does not show who can access a free meal. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure placed Female Students at the 31st percentile in 2025–2026, compared with Allen’s overall 20th percentile. Its Special Education Students ranking fell from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 22nd in 2025–2026.
