Summary:

The 92103 zip code in San Diego contains six public schools serving grades K-8 (with one K-12 alternative school), offering a diverse educational landscape within the San Diego Unified and Museum District.

Parents will find standout academic performance at Grant K-8 and Birney Elementary, which rank in the state's top 10% with 5-star ratings; Birney, in particular, excels in science and math. In contrast, Roosevelt International Middle, the area's only dedicated middle school, shows the lowest proficiency rates and a notable drop in 8th-grade math, while Florence Elementary and Museum school have more moderate rankings.

Key differences include student support levels, with the specialized Home & Hosp/Transition Support school having very high funding and a tiny class size for its unique needs, while high-performing Birney operates with larger classes. Chronic absenteeism is lowest at the top-performing schools but is a significant challenge at the alternative school and Florence. Overall, the zip code features both high-achieving schools and institutions facing distinct challenges, providing varied options for families.
