School Overview

Captain Jason M. Dahl Elementary sits in the working-class neighborhoods of South San Jose, an area where families are deeply rooted and community ties run strong. Academics here are a real challenge, with the school ranking in the lower tiers statewide in English and Math, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to weigh their options carefully. That said, for families already connected to this part of San Jose — close to Story Road and the area's bustling Vietnamese and Latino communities — it can be a familiar, accessible neighborhood school in a part of the city that's affordable by Bay Area standards.
