Summary

King-Chavez Arts and Athletics Academy is a small, grades 4-5 elementary school serving 159 students in San Diego, operating within its own King-Chavez Arts and Athletics Academy District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with recent state rankings placing it in the 2nd percentile and proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below state averages. This low performance is consistent across all student groups and shows a concerning decline over recent years. Notably, the school spends over $23,000 per student, which is high compared to many nearby schools like Albert Einstein Academies ($15,945), yet this substantial investment has not translated into stronger academic outcomes.

Interesting comparisons can be made with other local schools serving similar student populations. For instance, Rodriguez Elementary has nearly identical demographics and spending but performs slightly better, while another school in the same network, King-Chavez Academy of Excellence, achieves higher rankings. This variation suggests that factors within a school's control, such as instructional approach or culture, can lead to different results even when community challenges are similar.

My kids have gone to King-Chavez for many years and I have never heard of a school that uses more restorative practices and problem solving skills in their teaching. The teachers are very kind and understanding of family life and work with us to be successful. I know schools are going through a tough time after the pandemic, but the school works with kids in small groups to support learning growth and I always recommend this school to others. Close Quote
