Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “37% proficient” and call it done. Rocketship Si Se Puede Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in San Jose, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 23.5% of English learners met the ELA standard — versus 10.4% statewide.
As a charter, Rocketship Si Se Puede Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 37.2% of students at Rocketship Si Se Puede Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 18.8% exceeded it.
