School Overview

Dartmouth Middle sits in the Willow Glen-adjacent neighborhoods of south San Jose, a part of the city that feels a bit more suburban and settled than the busier corridors nearby — think tree-lined streets, longtime residents, and a strong sense of community investment in local schools. The school's math and science scores are particularly impressive, landing in the 90th percentile statewide, making it a great fit for families who want a rigorous STEM foundation before high school. For parents looking for a solid, well-rounded middle school experience in a neighborhood that still feels like a neighborhood, Dartmouth is worth a close look.
