Summary:
The Evergreen Elementary district in San Jose, California, contains 13 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The schools in this district exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some ranking among the top 5% of elementary schools in the state and others struggling to meet proficiency standards.
The top-performing schools in the district are Tom Matsumoto Elementary, James Franklin Smith Elementary, and Evergreen Elementary. These schools consistently rank in the top 3-5% of California elementary schools, with very high proficiency rates on state assessments that exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, several other schools in the district struggle with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district, which suggests issues of equity and access that need to be addressed. Addressing chronic absenteeism and understanding the successful practices of the district's standout schools could help improve educational outcomes for all students in the Evergreen Elementary district.
