Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 95116 include nine schools—five elementary, three middle and one high school—serving students from elementary through high school. Seven have 2025–26 all-grades test results; the other two have results through 2024–25. Across the seven, the average was 28% in English language arts (ELA), 19% in math and 20% in science, compared with California averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important takeaway is that every subject average fell below the state, though science had the smallest gap at 16 percentage points.
Results vary considerably by school. San Jose High led ELA at 47%, 22 points above the other schools’ average, but had the lowest math result at 12%. Aptitud Community Academy at Goss led math at 25%, while Learning in an Urban Community with High Achievement (L.U.C.H.A.) led science at 30%. Even these leaders were below state results: by 2 points in ELA, 13 in math and 6 in science. At the low end, San Antonio Elementary had the lowest ELA score, 18%, and Selma Olinder Elementary had the lowest science score, 8%—22 points below L.U.C.H.A.
Across the same seven schools, average scores increased from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by less than 1 point in ELA and math and by 3 points in science; the state improved by less than 1, 1 and 3 points, respectively, so the average school-state gap widened slightly in every subject. Individual results differed: L.U.C.H.A.’s science score rose 26 points, while Selma Olinder’s fell 11. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings also ranged widely, from the 43rd percentile for San Jose High to the 7th for San Antonio Elementary. As context, all nine schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25, ranging from 70% at San Jose High to 93% at ACE Empower Academy. These are all-grades comparisons across schools with differing grade spans, and two schools lack 2025–26 scores.
