Summary:

The 95127 zip code in San Jose contains 21 schools serving approximately 7,500 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with most serving high-poverty communities and showing academic performance significantly below state averages.

Parents will find a stark contrast in school quality, with standout performers like KIPP Navigate College Prep (ranking in the 64th percentile statewide with strong test scores and low absenteeism) and Millard McCollam Elementary (the highest-ranked elementary school) alongside schools facing severe challenges, such as Foothill High (4th percentile with critical academic and attendance issues) and Escuela Popular/Center for Training and Careers (with a near-total dropout rate). The only traditional Joseph George Middle school ranks very low, creating a concerning gap for students transitioning from elementary to high school.

Overall, schools in the Alum Rock Union Elementary district tend to underperform, while results are mixed in the East Side Union High district. Chronic absenteeism is a widespread problem, exceeding the state average at most schools. While per-student spending varies greatly, it does not consistently predict success, as some higher-funded schools struggle while others like Toyon Elementary in the Berryessa Union Elementary district achieve relatively better results with less funding.
