School Overview

Orchard Elementary sits in the Berryessa area of northeast San Jose, a diverse, working-class neighborhood that's seen steady growth thanks to its proximity to major tech corridors and the future Berryessa BART station. The school serves a broad K-8 range, which can be a real plus for families who value continuity and keeping kids in the same community through middle school. Families looking for a neighborhood school with a solid science program and a tight-knit feel — without the intense competition of some of San Jose's higher-profile districts — may find Orchard a comfortable fit.
