Summary

Toler Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 235 students in the San Diego Unified district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing above the state average, particularly in math and science.

The school shows notable strengths, including a strong science program and effective support for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, achieving solid academic results despite over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, Toler faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which at 28.4% is much higher than the district average and rates at nearby schools like Barnard Elementary (8.2%) and Holmes Elementary (6.6%). Performance also varies considerably by grade, with 5th graders excelling while 4th graders struggle in English Language Arts.

Compared to other local schools, Toler operates with the highest per-student spending but does not achieve the exceptional academic outcomes of some neighbors like Holmes Elementary or Barnard Elementary. Its statewide ranking has recently declined, and while it remains a good school, addressing attendance and improving consistency across grades are key areas for potential growth.
