Summary

Silver Wing Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 335 students in San Diego's Chula Vista area, operating within the Chula Vista Elementary School District, which is generally well-regarded statewide.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture: its performance in English Language Arts is close to the state average, and it shows a relative strength in Science, but mathematics proficiency is a notable challenge, falling below both district and state averages. However, Silver Wing has demonstrated extraordinary success in one critical area: it has dramatically reduced chronic student absenteeism from over 42% to just 7.2% in a few years, a rate that is now significantly better than most nearby schools like Howard Pence Elementary (20.8%) or Smythe Elementary (39.5%). The school is also particularly effective in supporting English Language Learner students, ranking highly in that category.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts such as San Ysidro Elementary and South Bay Union, Silver Wing generally performs better academically. However, within its own high-performing district, it lags behind the average, especially in math. This indicates that while the school has made impressive strides in improving attendance and supports certain student groups well, there is a clear focus area for academic improvement, particularly in building foundational math skills across grade levels.
