Public, Charter Grades K-5

Summary

Rocketship Alma Academy is a K–5 school serving 513 students in San Jose, in the Santa Clara County Office of Education district. Its 2025–26 results show a mixed academic picture rather than uniformly strong or weak performance. The key takeaway is that mathematics is Alma’s clearest relative strength, while science is its largest academic weakness.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Alma is well above the six-school average in math but below it in science: math proficiency is 44%, versus a nearby average of 29%, while science is 16%, versus 27%. ELA is close to the nearby average, at 35% compared with 34%. Against the state, Alma is 6 points higher in math, but 14 points lower in ELA and 20 points lower in science. It also exceeds its supplied district comparison by 37 points in math, 22 in ELA and 8 in science. These subject-level results make the contrast clear: math stands out positively, while science is the most pronounced gap relative to the state and nearby schools.

SchoolDigger ranks Alma at the 45th percentile and gives it 2 stars in 2025–26, placing it sixth among ten nearby schools with rankings. Its percentile has fallen 16 points from 61 in 2014–15; compared with its most recent earlier result, 56 in 2017–18, it is down 11 points. Group rankings show some notable differences over time: SchoolDigger ranked Alma’s English Language Learner students at the 83rd percentile in 2017–18, compared with 56th overall that year. Its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking later fell from the 76th percentile in 2017–18 to the 53rd in 2025–26, a 23-point drop. Chronic absenteeism is another area to watch: Alma’s 23% rate is 5 points above the state and 4 above its district, though 3 points below the nearby-school average. Test scores are supplied only for 2025–26, and the available free/reduced lunch eligible and student–teacher ratio figures are from 2015–16 to 2017–18, so current comparisons for those measures and Alma’s recent score trends cannot be established.
