Summary

Jerabek Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public school serving 718 students in the San Diego Unified School District, consistently ranking among the very best elementary schools in California.

The school achieves exceptional academic results, with over 83% of students proficient in English and 86% in math, far exceeding both San Diego Unified and state averages. This excellence extends to all student groups, with Jerabek ranking in the 98th percentile or higher for Hispanic, low-income, and special education students. Remarkably, the school accomplishes this with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than many neighboring schools like Mason Elementary and Ericson Elementary.

It also compares favorably to high-achieving schools in the neighboring Poway Unified district, such as Creekside Elementary. The school's very low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.3%—less than half the district average—further supports its strong, decade-long record of academic success and stability.
