Summary:

Zip code 91950 has two public high schools in National City serving grades 9–12: San Diego Workforce Innovation High enrolls 2,722 students, and Sweetwater High enrolls 2,290. In 2024–2025, both schools fell below California in English, math and science, and math was the clearest shared concern: their average math proficiency was 13%, compared with 37% statewide, an average gap of 24 percentage points.

Sweetwater led in English and math in 2024–2025, while Workforce Innovation had a slight edge in science. Sweetwater’s proficiency was 41% in English and 18% in math, versus 27% and 8% at Workforce Innovation—a 14-point English difference and a 10-point math difference. Workforce Innovation scored 17% in science, compared with Sweetwater’s 15%, a 2-point lead. Neither school reached the state rates of 49% in English, 37% in math or 33% in science. The subject-by-subject results show that neither school led across the board.

Sweetwater improved in English and science in 2025–2026, but its math result declined: English rose 6 points to 47%, science rose 11 points to 26%, and math fell 5 points to 13%. Its math gap with the state widened by 6 points, while its English and science gaps narrowed by 6 and 7 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Sweetwater moved from the 43rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 39th in 2025–2026; Workforce Innovation was at the 23rd percentile in both 2022–2023 and 2024–2025, after reaching the 26th percentile in between. In 2024–2025, free/reduced-lunch eligibility was 89% at Sweetwater and 77% at Workforce Innovation; student–teacher ratios were 25.3 and 26.3, respectively. Sweetwater’s 2025–2026 graduation rate was 91%, 3 points above the state, and chronic absenteeism was 15%, 3 points below it. Workforce Innovation reported a 23% graduation rate and 23% dropout rate in 2023–2024 and 59% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025, but these figures are from different years than Sweetwater’s and are not directly comparable; Workforce Innovation also has no later test-score results in the supplied data.
