School Overview

Aptitud Community Academy at Goss sits in the heart of East San Jose, a tight-knit, predominantly Latino neighborhood with deep community roots and a strong sense of identity. As a charter school within the Alum Rock district, it serves families looking for a school with a community-focused mission in an area that doesn't always get a lot of attention from top-ranked school lists. Families who are invested in building something together — and who value a school that reflects the culture of the neighborhood — will find a familiar, welcoming environment here, even as the school continues to work toward stronger academic outcomes.
