Summary

Torrey Hills Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 389 students in the highly-regarded Del Mar Union Elementary School District in San Diego, consistently earning a 5-star rating.

While Torrey Hills is an excellent school by statewide standards, ranking in the 93rd-95th percentile, it performs below the average of its own exceptional district in core subjects like English and Math. It also faces a notable challenge with chronic absenteeism, at 9.7%, which is higher than most district peers like Ocean Air (3.9%) and Sage Canyon (4.9%). Compared to schools in other districts, such as Doyle Elementary in San Diego Unified, Torrey Hills performs significantly better, highlighting the advantage of its district.

Interesting strengths include exceptionally high performance for specific student groups, such as English Learners and students with disabilities, ranking in the 99th-100th percentiles. Performance varies by grade, with upper grades (5th and 6th) performing closer to district averages than the middle grades. The school spends less per student than some district peers like Ashley Falls Elementary, and its student population has become slightly more economically diverse in recent years.
