Stonegate Elementary

Stonegate Elementary sits in the Evergreen-adjacent pocket of east San Jose, a dense, working-class corner of the city where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school serves a wide mix of students across a K-8 span, which means kids build real familiarity with their school community over many years — something that can matter a lot in a busy urban district like Franklin-McKinley. Academically, science is a relative bright spot, and families who are actively involved and supplement at home tend to find it a workable fit, especially given the tight-knit feel of the surrounding neighborhood.
