Summary:
The Harriet Tubman Village Charter District consists of a single K-8 school, Harriet Tubman Village Charter, serving 446 students in San Diego.
This school faces significant academic challenges, with student test scores consistently and substantially below state averages across all subjects, particularly in science where proficiency is 27 points below the state. Performance has been unstable, showing a brief improvement in the 2023-2024 year before declining again to a 1-star rating, placing it in the bottom 13% of all California schools. The student population has a very high rate of economic disadvantage, which often correlates with greater educational needs, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate is above the state average, a factor known to impact learning.
Despite spending more per student than the state average, these resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. There are notable inconsistencies between grade levels, with middle school students, especially in 8th-grade math and science, struggling far more than students in some elementary grades. For parents, this indicates a school in need of strong, evidence-based interventions to improve curriculum alignment, teaching effectiveness, and student attendance to better support its learners.
