School Overview

Gardner Elementary sits in the Willow Glen-adjacent stretch of San Jose, a part of the city where older bungalows and tree-lined streets give it a quieter, more neighborhood-y feel than much of the South Bay. The school serves a community that's working hard — San Jose Unified has been investing in support programs across its lower-performing campuses, and families who are patient and engaged with their kids' learning can find real relationships with teachers here. It's a good fit for families who value a tight-knit, diverse school community and are prepared to supplement academics at home or through outside programs.
