San Jose Unified

The San Jose Unified school district in California serves 41 schools, including 27 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 8 high schools. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Leland High School, Bret Harte Middle School, Graystone Elementary, and Williams Elementary ranking among the top schools in the state.

The district's high schools have a wide range of four-year graduation rates, from 69.0% at Broadway High to 98.5% at Leland High. Dropout rates also vary significantly, from 1.5% at Leland High to 30.1% at Broadway High. Chronic absenteeism rates range from 5.6% at Williams Elementary to 86.6% at Broadway High.

Test scores across the district vary widely, with some schools performing significantly above the state and district averages, and others performing well below. The data suggests a correlation between a school's socioeconomic status and its academic performance, with the schools serving higher-poverty communities tending to have lower test scores and graduation rates. This highlights the importance of school choice and the need for targeted interventions to support underperforming schools and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
