Summary

Scripps Elementary is a top-ranked K-5 public school serving 733 students in San Diego's Scripps Ranch area, consistently performing in the top 1-2% of all California elementary schools.

The school's academic results are exceptional, with over 86% of students proficient in both English and Math, far exceeding both the San Diego Unified and state averages. It also boasts an extremely low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.7%, indicating high student engagement. This success is consistent across different student groups and is achieved with lower per-student spending than many neighboring schools like Walker Elementary and Hage Elementary, suggesting efficient and effective school practices.

It even outperforms most schools in the higher-ranked Poway Unified district. While performance remains strong across all grades, there is a noted declining trend for Multi-racial students that the school will need to address to ensure excellence for every child.
