Summary

PRIDE Academy at Prospect Avenue is a K–8 school serving 548 students in Santee, in San Diego County. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed academic picture: ELA is its strongest subject, while math and science are areas to watch. The clearest takeaway is that ELA stands out against nearby schools, the district, and the state, but that advantage does not extend to math and science.

In 2025–2026, 64% of students were proficient in ELA—15 percentage points above California and 5 above the Santee district. That was the third-highest result among nearby schools with scores, and 2 points above the nearby Santee average; only Sycamore Canyon Elementary scored higher. Math proficiency was 48%, 10 points above the state but 1 point below the district and 5 below the nearby Santee average; 7 of 9 nearby schools with results scored higher. Science was 40%, 4 points above the state but 4 below the district and 6 below the local average; 6 of 8 nearby schools scored higher.

Results have improved over four years, though the latest math and science scores fell from the previous year. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 6 percentage points, math 2, and science 9; chronic absenteeism dropped from 32% to 10%, close to the district’s 9.6%. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 74th statewide percentile with 4 stars, compared with the district’s 80th percentile and 4 stars. In 2024–2025, 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, 14 points above the nearby Santee-school average, and the student–teacher ratio was 25.1. SchoolDigger’s ranking for White Students was at the 40th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 74th; its Special Education Students ranking also fell from the 92nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 65th in 2023–2024.
