Summary:
The San Diego Mission Academy District has one high school, San Diego Mission Academy, serving grades 6–12 and enrolling 289 students. Its test results are mixed: 2025–2026 all-grades mathematics was essentially level with the state, while English language arts (ELA) and science were below state results. The most serious concern is student completion and attendance: graduation was 42% versus 88% statewide, chronic absenteeism was 54% versus 18%, and dropout was 21% versus 8%.
Because this is the district’s only high school, it is both the highest- and lowest-performing school in the group by default; there are no other local schools to compare. Against state results, mathematics is the school’s relative strength: 38% were proficient, essentially matching the state’s 38%, and the school was above the state in grade 8 math (41% versus 36%) and grade 11 math (42% versus 32%). In contrast, all-grades ELA was 36%, 13 points below the state, and science was 24%, 12 points below. The weakest listed grade-level result was grade 7 ELA: 16%, compared with 51% statewide, a 34-point gap.
All-grades proficiency improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, particularly in math: the school gained 1 point in ELA, 9 in math and 4 in science, while state results rose by less than 1 point, 1 point and 3 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 63rd percentile (791 of 2,137 schools) with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down from the 72nd percentile and 4 stars the prior year; it was at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars in 2023–2024. Context figures include a 22.8 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 68% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these describe the school but do not explain its results.
