Summary

San Miguel Elementary serves 431 students in grades K–5 in Sunnyvale, California, in the Sunnyvale district. Its clearest concern is English Language Arts (ELA): 40% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 49% statewide and 56% in the district. Among 11 nearby schools, it had the second-lowest ELA result, making reading and language arts the most important area to examine.

Compared with nearby schools, math is a relative bright spot against the state, but not against local peers: 40% were proficient, 1 point above the state, yet 14 points below the district and fourth-lowest among the 11 schools. Science proficiency was 34%, 2 points below the state and 16 points below the district; it ranked third-lowest nearby. Spanish-assessment results offer a counterpoint: San Miguel was above state results in every reported category, with particularly notable advantages in listening and writing, though its reading result was only 2 points above the state and below the district. Nearby schools averaged 53% in ELA, 51% in math and 46% in science.

Math and science results have improved over the four years provided: math rose 6 points, from 34% to 40%, and science rose 7 points, from 27% to 34%. ELA rose 2 points, from 38% to 40%, but its gap below the state widened slightly. SchoolDigger ranks the school 2,873rd of 5,804 California schools, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars; its recent percentile ranking has been steady. Its 17.5 student-teacher ratio was the second-lowest among nearby schools. The school reported 31% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, near the middle of the local range; this is context, not an explanation for test results. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 26th percentile, below the school’s overall 50th percentile. Its English Language Learner Students ranking also fell notably, from the 53rd percentile in 2021–2022 to the 35th in 2023–2024.
