Summary:
The San Diego Virtual District contains a single high school, San Diego Virtual, which serves grades 9-12 entirely online with an enrollment of about 400 students.
This fully virtual school stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts, where students score significantly above the state average, and for its exceptionally low rate of chronic absenteeism, which is much better than typical California schools. While it serves a student population where a majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school maintains competitive graduation rates and science scores close to the state average, though its mathematics proficiency is slightly below the state benchmark.
The school's statewide ranking has varied over recent years, indicating the evolving nature of virtual education, but its consistent strengths in literacy and student attendance demonstrate the potential of this model. For parents considering an online option, San Diego Virtual shows it can provide a structured and engaging learning environment, particularly effective in certain academic areas while serving a diverse student body.
