Lietz Elementary

Lietz Elementary sits in the quieter, residential pockets of south San Jose, where tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community make it feel a world away from the busier parts of the city. The school punches well above average across the board, with particularly strong math and science scores that reflect the STEM-minded culture common throughout Silicon Valley. Families who value solid academics in a grounded, neighborhood-school setting — without the intense pressure of some nearby districts — tend to find Lietz a really comfortable fit.
