San Diego Unified


Summary:

The San Diego Unified School District operates a diverse network of 175 schools, including 119 elementary schools, 24 middle schools, 25 high schools, and 7 alternative schools. These institutions serve students across a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 12.46% at Jerabek Elementary to 96.33% at Fay Elementary.

The district is home to several standout schools, including Henry High, which ranks among the top 208 high schools in California and boasts a 5-star rating, a high 4-year graduation rate of 86.4%, and strong test scores that outperform the district and state averages. Other high-performing schools are Mira Mesa High and Scripps Ranch High, which rank among the top 207 and 40th high schools in the state, respectively, and earn 5-star ratings.

The data also highlights some areas for improvement, such as the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, which is a concern. Additionally, while the overall 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% is higher than the district and state averages, there is a significant performance gap between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, with some institutions like Hoover High and Madison High struggling with much lower test scores and rankings.
