Summary

Kumeyaay Elementary serves 398 students in grades K–5 in San Diego, within San Diego Unified. Its 2025–2026 results are well above district and state proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important takeaway is that students are performing strongly across all three subjects, with the clearest advantage in math.

Compared with district and state rates, Kumeyaay is ahead by 14 and 18 percentage points in ELA (68% proficient, versus 54% and 49%), 21 and 29 points in math (67%, versus 46% and 38%), and 10 and 16 points in science (52%, versus 42% and 36%). Among nine nearby district elementary schools, its results are also above the peer averages: 12 points higher in ELA, 11 in math, and 5 in science. However, it is not the local leader: among the ten schools including Kumeyaay, it ranks 4th in ELA and 5th in math and science. Its relative edge over nearby schools is largest in ELA and smallest in science.

Results have been broadly steady since 2022–2023, but the latest year was a setback: from 2024–2025, proficiency fell 3 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 8 in science. SchoolDigger gives Kumeyaay the 86th statewide percentile and four stars for 2025–2026, down from the 90th percentile in each of the prior two years; nearby Tierrasanta, Marvin, and Dailard rank higher. In 2024–2025, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 23.4, and 27% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; California provides free school meals statewide, so that figure does not indicate who can receive a meal. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show areas for further inquiry: Multi-racial Students ranked at the 46th percentile in 2023–2024, versus 90th for the school overall, and Special Education Students ranked at the 70th percentile in 2024–2025, versus 90th overall. Chronic absenteeism is a positive: it fell to 9% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 17% and state’s 18%.
