Summary:
Zip code 95133 has seven schools—two elementary, one middle and four high schools—with results available for all seven in 2024–25 and five in 2025–26. In 2025–26, the five-school averages were 34% in ELA, 21% in math and 24% in science, below the state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. But the results vary sharply: the distance between the highest- and lowest-scoring schools was 48 points in ELA, 42 in math and 38 in science. The most important takeaway is that a zip-code average hides substantial differences between schools.
KIPP San Jose Collegiate led in 2024–25, with 83% in ELA and 64% in math—21 points above the next-highest school in each subject—and 44% in science, narrowly ahead of Independence High (43.7%). In 2025–26, Independence led ELA at 60% and science at 47%; Ben Painter Elementary led math at 42%. At the lower end, Anne Darling Elementary had the lowest ELA (12%) and science (9%), while Pegasus High had the lowest math result (0%).
Changes were mixed rather than uniform. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, Ben Painter gained 12 points in ELA and 7 in science, while its math result slipped by 1 point; Independence’s ELA fell 3 points, while math rose 2 and science rose 3. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings also show a contrast: Ben Painter was at the 57th percentile and Anne Darling at the 2nd; Independence was at the 70th and Pegasus at the 16th. As context, in school year 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 52% at Ben Painter and 73% at Anne Darling—an observation, not an explanation of their scores. Pegasus also reported 49% chronic absenteeism and a 62% graduation rate in 2025–26, compared with state figures of 18% and 88%. KIPP and ACE Charter High do not have 2025–26 test results in this data.
