1668^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,135 California High Schools

Better than 22% of California high schools

Summary

San Diego Workforce Innovation High is a grades 9–12 school in National City, serving 2,722 students. Attendance and graduation are the most urgent concerns: in 2023–2024, the graduation rate was 23%, compared with 86% statewide, a 64-point gap, and chronic absenteeism was 56% versus 20% statewide, a 35-point gap. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism reached 59%, against 19% statewide, a 40-point gap. Together, persistent absenteeism and very low graduation and completion rates point to the school’s most pressing challenge.

Test results were below California averages in all three subjects in 2024–2025. Math was weakest compared with the state: 8% of students were proficient, versus 37% statewide, a 30-point gap; ELA was 27% versus 49%, and science was 17% versus 33%, the closest subject to the state. Compared with nearby schools, the school was below the average in ELA by 15 points, math by 8 points and science by 5 points, and ranked third-lowest of 11 schools in each subject. The supplied data do not include district assessment results, so a school-to-district score comparison is unavailable.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, ELA rose from 20% to 27%, math from 6% to 8%, and science from 16% to 17%; science had dropped to 4% in 2023–2024 before rebounding. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 23rd percentile (1,659 of 2,162) and gives it one star; it was third-lowest among nearby schools with a ranking. The school is the largest in that nearby group, with more students than Sweetwater High, and its 26.3 student-teacher ratio is second-highest among nearby schools with reported figures. In 2024–2025, 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, fourth-lowest among 11 schools with the same measure; nearby rates ranged from 58.4% to 95.1%. One notable SchoolDigger group ranking is for homeless students: its statewide effectiveness percentile rose from 7 in 2022–2023 to 49 in 2024–2025.
