High Technical Elementary District

Summary:

The High Technical Elementary District in San Diego consists of a single school, High Technical Elementary, serving grades K-5 with 444 students.

This school shows a clear strength in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates that exceed the California state averages. However, performance in English Language Arts is below the state average, and there are notable differences in how each grade performs; for example, 4th graders excel in math but struggle more in reading, while 5th graders show the opposite pattern. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating, though its statewide ranking has slipped from the 59th to the 50th percentile over the past three years.

Key areas for parents to consider include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and the fact that nearly half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's ability to outperform in math and science despite these challenges is a positive sign. Overall, High Technical Elementary presents a profile of solid STEM instruction with room for growth in reading consistency and attendance.
