School Overview

Horace Cureton Elementary sits in the Alum Rock neighborhood of East San Jose, a historically Latino community with deep roots and a strong sense of cultural identity. The school serves a population that faces real academic challenges, and families considering it should know that test scores fall below state averages across English, math, and science — so parents who want to be actively involved in their child's learning will likely need to supplement at home. That said, the surrounding area has seen growing investment in recent years, and for families already rooted in this tight-knit community, Cureton can be a familiar, neighborhood-centered option.
