97K is for the whole state. I don't know what the average salaries for San Jose are.. I just looked at two salaries, of 1st Grade and 2nd Grade teachers in San Jose and they were ~$142K which is not bad at all.

From a source that, unlike yours, isn't completely opaque and unreliable, $92,500 for the highest paid segment (Secondary) of K-12 non-special ed teachers, $101,500 for secondary special ed, the absolutely highest of any K-12 category.
