Summary

Ibarra Elementary is a public elementary school in San Diego, California, serving 392 students in grades K-5. It is part of the San Diego Unified School District, which is ranked 588 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

Despite spending significantly more per student than the district and state averages, ranging from $17,056 to $21,735 per year, Ibarra Elementary consistently underperforms in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 29.53% of Ibarra students were proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to 56.17% for the district and 48.81% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 21.29%, compared to 45.3% for the district and 37.3% for the state. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 28.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Marshall Elementary, Rosa Parks Elementary, and Euclid Elementary, also perform below the district and state averages in academic proficiency, but generally outperform Ibarra Elementary. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 25% of California elementary schools. However, the school performs relatively better for African American students, ranking in the top 30% of California elementary schools in recent years.
