Summary:
Zip code 95133 in San Jose contains one public middle school, William Sheppard Middle, serving grades 6-8 within the Alum Rock Union Elementary district.
For families considering William Sheppard Middle, the school shows some relative strengths within its district context. It performs slightly better than the district average in English Language Arts and Science, and it has a notably lower rate of chronic student absenteeism compared to both the district and state. The school also demonstrates a positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking percentile over the last few years.
However, academic performance at the school remains significantly below California state averages across all core subjects. A particular area for attention is mathematics, where proficiency dips in 7th grade. The school benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the state average, resources that are supporting a gradual improvement trajectory despite the academic challenges common to the wider Alum Rock Union Elementary district.
