School Overview

Tucked into the Willow Glen-adjacent neighborhoods of south San Jose, John Muir Middle sits in a part of the city that feels a bit more suburban and settled compared to other corners of this sprawling metro. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with science being a particular bright spot, making it a decent fit for families with kids who lean toward hands-on, analytical thinking. Families here tend to value stability and community connection, and San Jose Unified's resources mean there's room for students to grow across all three years of middle school.
