Chaboya Middle

Tucked into the Evergreen hills of east San Jose, Chaboya Middle is one of the strongest middle schools in California, drawing families who take academics seriously and want their kids hitting the ground running before high school. The surrounding Evergreen neighborhood is a well-established, family-friendly pocket of San Jose known for its quieter streets, good parks, and a community that genuinely invests in its schools. If you're raising kids in this corner of the South Bay and want a two-year academic experience that's rigorous across the board — math, English, and science alike — Chaboya is the kind of school that makes the neighborhood worth planting roots in.
