Summary:
The San Diego Independent School District (Isd) in San Diego, Texas, serves 1,453 students across three public schools—Collins-Parr Elementary, Bernarda Jaime J H, and San Diego High School—with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating significant economic need.
San Diego High School stands out for its strong graduation rate of 91.5% and a very low dropout rate of 0.6%, along with notable proficiency in Biology (70.09%) and English II Reading (65.09%), which beat state averages. It also has the highest per-student spending at $13,570. Collins-Parr Elementary is the largest school (688 students) and shows an improving state ranking, moving to the 51st percentile, with a clear strength in 4th Grade Mathematics (59.57% vs. 49.28% state). In contrast, Bernarda Jaime J H is the weakest link, with the lowest state ranking (42nd percentile), the highest dropout rate (0.9%), and test scores that frequently lag behind state averages, such as only 37.5% of 6th graders proficient in Reading versus 53.52% statewide.
Key metrics reveal consistent student-teacher ratios (13.1:1 to 14.8:1) but varied spending, with the elementary school spending the least ($9,209 per student). A district-wide challenge is science proficiency, with only 11.82% of 5th graders proficient in Science at the elementary level. Despite high economic disadvantage, the district shows resilience, particularly at the high school, though inconsistent subject performance—like strong 4th-grade math but weak 3rd-grade math—highlights the need for targeted instructional improvements.
