Summary

Broadway High is a grades 9–12 school with 176 students in San Jose, within San Jose Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were very low: 1% in English language arts, 0% in math and 2% in science. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 80% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18% statewide and 22% in the district; that was the highest rate among nearby schools with current data, and 20 points above the next-highest rate.

Broadway falls far behind the state and district in all three subjects, with English language arts the weakest relative result: 1% proficient versus 49% statewide and 51% in the district. Math was 0% versus 38% statewide and 42% in the district; science was 2% versus 36% and 41%, making it the subject where Broadway was least far behind. Among nearby schools with 11th-grade results, Broadway’s English language arts rate was the lowest, at 1%, compared with 14% at Calero High; its 0% in math tied Phoenix High for the lowest reported result. Graduation was 84%, below the state’s 88% and the district’s 93%, while the 15% dropout rate was higher than both.

Results remain challenging despite some improvement in attendance: chronic absenteeism declined from 92% in 2021–2022 to 80% in 2025–2026. Over that period, English language arts proficiency fell from 10% to 1%, math stayed at 0%, and science declined from 5% to 2%, while statewide proficiency rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranked Broadway in the 5th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, the lowest percentile among nearby schools with a reported ranking; its percentile was 14 in 2022–2023. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was comparatively low at 10.9, while 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One older relative bright spot: SchoolDigger’s 2023–2024 statewide ranking for English Language Learner students was at the 41st percentile, compared with the school’s overall 11th percentile that year.
