Toyon Elementary

Toyon Elementary sits in the foothills of east San Jose, a part of the city with deep roots and a strong sense of community pride. The school serves a diverse neighborhood where families are working hard to support their kids, though academic performance currently runs below state averages across English, math, and science — something worth keeping in mind for families who prioritize test scores. That said, Berryessa Union as a district has been investing in its schools, and for families already rooted in this corner of San Jose, Toyon offers a local, community-connected experience close to the natural beauty of the Diablo Range foothills.
