Cupertino Union

Summary:

The Cupertino Union school district in California comprises 23 schools, including 18 elementary schools and 5 middle schools, serving students from preschool through 8th grade. The district is known for its high-performing schools, with several institutions ranking among the top in the state.

A few standout schools in the Cupertino Union district include Joaquin Miller Middle School and John F. Kennedy Middle School, both ranked in the top 10 middle schools in California. At the elementary level, William Faria Elementary and Murdock-Portal Elementary are among the top-performing schools in the state, with exceptional proficiency rates in core subjects. In contrast, some schools, such as Chester W. Nimitz Elementary and Manuel De Vargas Elementary, demonstrate lower academic performance compared to their peers.

The data reveals significant variation in student outcomes across the Cupertino Union district, with chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 3.0% to 19.9% and free/reduced lunch rates from 7.69% to 48.93%. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the observed disparities in academic achievement. By identifying and replicating the successful strategies of the highest-performing schools, the district can work towards more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
