Summary

Green Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 493 students in the San Diego Unified School District, consistently earning top ratings as part of a remarkable cluster of high-performing schools in eastern San Diego.

The school excels academically, with nearly 80% of students proficient in both English and Math, significantly outperforming district and state averages. What truly sets Green Elementary apart is its ability to achieve these outstanding results while serving a socioeconomically diverse student body; it outperforms nearby schools like Benchley/Weinberger Elementary and Dailard Elementary even though they serve student populations with lower economic need. The school is also exceptionally effective in supporting all student groups and maintains a very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9%, less than half the state average.

Green Elementary demonstrates that high performance isn't solely about spending, achieving excellent outcomes with moderate per-student funding. It has also shown remarkable resilience, quickly recovering strong attendance after the pandemic. The school's location within the San Diego Unified district appears beneficial, as there is a noticeable performance difference compared to schools across the boundary in the La Mesa-Spring Valley district, such as Murray Manor Elementary. Overall, Green Elementary is a model of equitable excellence, delivering top-tier education for all its students.
