Summary:

Zip code 95131 in San Jose contains seven schools serving a wide range of grades, from elementary to high school, including three traditional elementary schools and several specialized county-operated schools for high-needs populations.

For families seeking a strong traditional elementary school, Vinci Park Elementary stands out as the top performer in the area, with test scores well above state averages and low chronic absenteeism. The other elementary schools in the Berryessa Union Elementary district, Brooktree Elementary and Orchard Elementary, show more varied academic results, with Orchard having notably lower proficiency rates in mathematics.

The remaining schools, operated by the Santa Clara County Office of Education, serve specialized student populations and have very different performance metrics, with extremely high per-student spending supporting intensive services but very low standardized test scores and, in some cases, very high chronic absenteeism. These include Santa Clara County Special Education, Opportunity Youth Academy, Santa Clara County Community, and Santa Clara County Court.
