Summary:
The San Diego Workforce Innovation High District contains a single, very large high school, San Diego Workforce Innovation High, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of over 2,700 students.
This school faces significant challenges, with academic performance and graduation rates far below state averages. In the most recent data, only about 23% of students graduated, while chronic absenteeism—where students miss a large amount of school—affects nearly 60% of the student body. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English and math are also very low, with less than 8% of students proficient in mathematics. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of all California high schools for the last three years.
While the school spends a similar amount per student as the state average, its extremely large size and high student-to-teacher ratio may hinder personalized support. The data indicates a need for comprehensive strategies to improve student attendance, engagement, and academic outcomes to better prepare students for their futures.
