School Overview

Tucked into the quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods of West San Jose, Gussie M. Baker Elementary is a standout in the Moreland district, with particularly strong science scores that put it near the top of the state. The surrounding area has that comfortable, established suburban feel — close to the Westgate shopping corridor but still very much a neighborhood school where families tend to put down roots. It's a great fit for parents who want solid academics across the board without the intense pressure cooker vibe you sometimes find in other parts of the South Bay.
