Summary:
Zip code 95117 in San Jose, California, is served by four public schools: three elementary schools and one high school, offering education from kindergarten through 12th grade across different districts.
Among these schools, Discovery Charter stands out as the highest performer, consistently ranking in the top 15% of schools statewide and achieving academic proficiency rates well above California averages in all subjects, with a notably low rate of chronic student absenteeism. The two other elementary schools, Lynhaven Elementary (in the Campbell Union district) and Leroy Anderson Elementary (in the Moreland district), show more moderate proficiency rates, with Leroy Anderson's scores falling below its district's averages.
The high school, Boynton High (in the Campbell Union High district), presents significant challenges, with very low academic proficiency and an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate over 70%, despite having a low student-teacher ratio and the highest per-student spending in the area. This creates a sharp contrast within the zip code, where a top-performing K-8 charter school coexists with a traditional high school struggling with severe attendance and achievement issues.
