Alum Rock Union School District

The Alum Rock Union School District (abbreviated ARUSD) operates thirteen elementary schools (K-5), four middle schools (6–8) and four TK-8th grade charters in the East San Jose and Alum Rock, San Jose neighborhoods of San Jose, California.

The district closed Grandin Miller Elementary School in 2004, and closed Pala Middle School in 2010. In 1996, there was a stabbing assault incident that occurred in the back of Clyde L. Fischer Middle School. The victim died from his injuries. In 2021, Clyde Fischer and Lee Mathson middle schools were closed as a result of low enrollment.
