Summary:
The San Diego Mission Academy District consists of a single public charter virtual high school, San Diego Mission Academy, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 151 students. While the school boasts a diverse student population, it appears to be an underperforming institution, with concerning academic outcomes, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism issues.
San Diego Mission Academy has a low 2-star statewide ranking, with a 4-year graduation rate of only 27.9% and a dropout rate more than double the state average at 22.1%. The school's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is well below the state average in both English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. Additionally, the school faces equity challenges, with a significant portion of the student population (63.58%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
These findings suggest that the San Diego Mission Academy District and the school itself need to prioritize significant improvements to address the academic and social-emotional needs of their students. Targeted interventions and support, as well as a closer examination of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance, may be necessary to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
