Summary

Audubon K-8 is a San Diego Unified school serving 495 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in San Diego, California. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were below both district and state averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. Its most important takeaway is that Audubon’s overall academic results remain low compared with these benchmarks, though some grade-level results stand out.

Math is Audubon’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, the district and the state; ELA is its weakest. Overall, 27% of Audubon students were proficient in math, compared with 46% in San Diego Unified and 38% statewide; its result was also 1 point below the nearby-school average. In ELA, 27% were proficient, versus 54% in the district and 49% statewide, and Audubon was 8 points below the nearby average—the second-lowest result among the nearby schools with results. Science proficiency was 21%, 21 points below the district and 15 below the state. Grade-level results reveal a notable exception: sixth-grade math was 38%, above the state’s 37% and higher than the nearby schools reporting that grade. Fifth-grade ELA was 19%, below every nearby school with a reported result.

Math and science have improved since 2022–2023, rising 5 and 9 percentage points, respectively, while ELA increased by just 1 point and its gap below the state widened. Chronic absenteeism fell 22 points from its 2021–2022 peak, but remained 30% in 2025–2026, compared with 17% in the district and 18% statewide. SchoolDigger ranks Audubon in the 27th statewide percentile with 1 star for 2025–2026; its percentile was 21 the prior year. The student-teacher ratio was 23.5 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 22.7. Audubon reported that 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; this is an eligibility measure, not the share receiving meals. SchoolDigger’s comparative ranking for homeless students rose to the 61st percentile in 2025–2026, 34 points above Audubon’s overall percentile. Its English Language Learner Students ranking fell from the 63rd percentile in 2021–2022 to the 18th in 2023–2024, a notable decline in its comparative standing for that group.
