Summary

Audubon K-8 is a public K-8 school in San Diego serving 495 students, but it faces significant academic challenges and ranks in the bottom quarter of all California schools.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are well below both the San Diego Unified district and state averages, and it has a very high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 30.4%. While it spends more per student than many nearby schools, its performance has been declining. A notable concern is a large gender gap in achievement, with female students performing significantly better than male students. The school performs similarly to other San Diego Unified schools in the immediate area like Fulton K-8 and Boone Elementary, which also struggle with below-average scores.

However, comparisons to schools in neighboring districts show that better outcomes are possible with similar student populations. For example, Mt. Vernon Elementary in the Lemon Grove district and Monterey Heights Elementary achieve higher proficiency rates and have much better attendance. This suggests that addressing chronic absenteeism and learning from the practices of these higher-performing nearby schools could be key areas for improvement at Audubon K-8.
