Forest Hill Elementary

What Forest Hill Elementary does

Forest Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located at 4450 McCoy Avenue in San Jose, California, operating within Campbell Union School District (CUSD). The school was originally constructed in 1962 and has undergone modernization, including classroom renovations, new insulated windows, and construction of a new CampbellCare/Preschool facility. It serves students from Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade, with a workforce of approximately 30 employees.

The school's core academic offering includes K-5 instruction supplemented by Visual Arts, Music, Physical Education, English Language Development, and Special Education services (Special Day Classes and Resource Specialist Program with occupational therapy). A distinctive element is the STEAM curriculum, which integrates science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics into cohesive instructional units supported by 3D printers, technology labs with iPads, Macbook Airs, and Chromebooks, and a dedicated school garden. The district supports a 1:1 device ratio for grades 2-8.

Forest Hill's revenue model is based primarily on public education funding from state and federal sources distributed through CUSD, determined by average daily attendance and enrollment. Secondary revenue streams include fee-based preschool programs (7:00 AM-5:00 PM, 5 days/week), CampbellCare before/after school childcare, and CodeLinkd Summer Camps ($700/week full-day, $350/week half-day) delivered through a third-party partner at the Campbell Community Center. The school operates as a non-venture-backed government entity with no equity funding, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue figures.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Primrose Schools: National franchise operator of private preschool through elementary-age programs with a balanced-learning curriculum. Primrose competes with Forest Hill's preschool program and serves as a fee-based alternative for families evaluating early childhood education options.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: National operator of early education and before/after-school care programs with employer-sponsored centers. Bright Horizons competes directly with Forest Hill's CampbellCare and preschool programs as an established incumbent in the wraparound childcare space serving working families.

Emerging players

• Guidepost Montessori: Growing national network of Montessori-based early childhood and elementary programs, including Bay Area locations. Guidepost competes for preschool and early-elementary families with an alternative pedagogical model adjacent to Forest Hill's TK and preschool offerings.
• Code Ninjas: Franchise network offering coding and STEM enrichment programs for kids, including summer camps that overlap with Forest Hill's CodeLinkd summer coding offerings. Code Ninjas competes for the same enrichment-spend dollars from Bay Area families.

Others

• Castilleja School: Independent girls' middle and upper school in Palo Alto with a strong STEM/academic reputation. While Castilleja serves an older cohort and a different demographic, it draws families from the same San Jose / Silicon Valley pipeline that feeds into Forest Hill at the elementary level.

Direct peers

• KIPP Bay Area Public Schools: Charter K-8 network operating multiple Bay Area campuses serving similar elementary-age families. KIPP competes for the same public-school-seeking demographic in the San Jose / Silicon Valley region and offers an extended-day model that parallels Forest Hill's CampbellCare wraparound services.
• Stratford School: Private K-8 school operator with multiple campuses in the Bay Area, including San Jose. Stratford competes for the same elementary families with a STEAM-enriched curriculum and extended care, and serves as the most likely private-school alternative for Forest Hill families.
• Challenger School: Private K-8 school with Bay Area campuses in San Jose and surrounding cities, focused on academic excellence and enrichment. Challenger competes for the same academically oriented families considering alternatives to Forest Hill's public program.
• Harker School: Highly regarded private K-12 school in San Jose with a strong STEM/academic focus. Harker is the premium-tier private alternative in the immediate San Jose market that draws the most academically inclined families away from Forest Hill and other public elementary schools.
• Rocketship Public Schools: Bay Area-based charter network serving TK-5 students with an explicit STEAM/STEM focus and integrated technology. Rocketship directly competes for the same elementary-age demographic in the same region, and its blended-learning model overlaps with Forest Hill's STEAM + 1:1 device positioning.
