School Overview

Hellyer Elementary sits in the southern reaches of San Jose, a working-class corner of the city that feels a bit removed from the Silicon Valley buzz but has its own strong sense of community. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with slightly stronger footing in science than in English or math — a solid, all-around option for families in the Franklin-McKinley area. It's a good fit for parents who want a neighborhood school with a grounded, community-feel and aren't looking to navigate the competitive private or charter school scene.
