Summary

Abram Agnew Elementary serves 505 students in grades K–5 in San Jose and is one of 11 nearby schools in the comparisons. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, and above Santa Clara Unified in ELA and math. The most important takeaway is that the school’s results are strong overall, but fifth-grade ELA stands out as a specific area of concern.

Math is the clearest strength against official benchmarks: 61% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 50% districtwide. ELA proficiency was 63%, versus 49% statewide and 61% districtwide. Science was 51%—well above the state’s 36%, but just under the district’s 51% (a gap of less than one point). Compared with nearby-school averages, Abram was slightly ahead in all three subjects: 63% versus 62% in ELA, 61% versus 59% in math, and 51% versus 47% in science. It ranked sixth among 11 schools in ELA and seventh in math and science. Fifth-grade ELA is the clearest dip: 53%, down 15 points from fourth grade and 8 points below the district, though still 4 points above the state.

Results have improved substantially: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose from 41% to 63% and math from 43% to 61%, gains of 22 and 17 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 67th percentile in 2023–24 to the 81st in 2025–26; it gives Abram 4 stars, matching the district’s 4 stars and exceeding the district’s 77th-percentile ranking. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 26% in 2021–22 to 8% in 2025–26. In 2024–25, 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student–teacher ratio was 21.0. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 relative ranking for Asian students was the 51st percentile, below the schoolwide 81st; its ranking for Special Education Students was the 52nd percentile. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
