Logan Memorial stands out from the surrounding schools in several key ways. The student population is predominantly Hispanic (95.27%), much higher than the diversity seen in nearby schools like Hawking S.T.E.A.M. Charter and San Diego Virtual.

Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests is significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 18.29% of students proficient in English Language Arts/Literacy compared to 53.76% in the district and 46.66% in California. Additionally, Logan Memorial has an exceptionally high percentage of students (86.69% to 96.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite these challenges, Logan Memorial's status as an alternative school presents an opportunity to implement innovative approaches and strategies to improve student outcomes. Collaboration with the nearby schools, both within and outside the San Diego Unified School District, could potentially benefit Logan Memorial by sharing best practices, providing joint professional development, and leveraging the strengths of the surrounding schools.
