Selma Olinder Elementary

Selma Olinder Elementary sits in the 95116 zip code, one of San Jose's most culturally rich and working-class neighborhoods on the east side, where longtime Latino families and newer immigrant communities share a close-knit corner of Silicon Valley. The school serves a community where many families are navigating English language development alongside core academics, and while test scores reflect those challenges, science is a relative bright spot worth noting. Families rooted in this neighborhood who value a school deeply connected to its community — rather than one chasing rankings — will find Selma Olinder a familiar, welcoming place.
