Summary

Encanto Elementary is a 386-student K–5 school in San Diego’s Encanto area and part of San Diego Unified. In 2025–2026, its results were below both state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science. ELA proficiency was 27%, compared with 49% statewide and 54% in the district; math was 32%, compared with 38% and 46%; and science was 20%, compared with 36% and 42%. The most important takeaway is that Encanto trails both benchmarks in every tested subject, with its widest gap in ELA.

Math is Encanto’s strongest subject relative to the state and district: its result is 6 points below the state and 14 below the district, while ELA is 22 and 27 points below, respectively. Among four nearby schools with comparable all-grade results, Encanto ranks second-lowest in ELA, at 27%, just above Horton Elementary at 25%. It ranks third-lowest in math and science: Horton and Johnson Elementary are lower in both, while Valencia Park Elementary and Nye Elementary score higher in all three subjects.

Math has improved steadily, rising from 22% in 2022–2023 to 32% in 2025–2026; its gap with the state narrowed from 13 points to 6. ELA, by contrast, fell from 31% to 27%, and its state gap widened from 16 to 22 points. Chronic absenteeism also fell substantially, from 64% in 2021–2022 to 27% in 2025–2026, but remains 11 points above the district and 9 above the state. SchoolDigger ranks Encanto in the 26th statewide percentile (1 star), compared with the district’s 58th percentile (3 stars). The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.4, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s 2023–2024 ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 71st percentile, compared with Encanto’s overall 17th percentile—a notably stronger relative result for that group. Its 2025–2026 ranking for Homeless Students was at the 59th percentile, versus 26th overall.
