Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 78384, serving the San Diego Independent School District (Isd), include Collins-Parr Elementary, Bernarda Jaime J H, and San Diego High School, serving approximately 1,453 students in a community with high economic disadvantage, where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Collins-Parr Elementary is the standout for improvement, earning a 3-star rating and rising to the 51st percentile—the highest in the district—while spending the least per student ($9,209). In contrast, Bernarda Jaime J H shows a "middle school slump," ranking lowest at the 42nd percentile with a slight downward trend, though it excels in 8th-grade math (58.72% proficient vs. 44.81% state). San Diego High School is a bright spot, maintaining a 91.5% graduation rate and a low 0.6% dropout rate despite an 84% poverty rate, with students meeting state averages in Biology and English I Reading.
Key metrics reveal that spending does not directly correlate with performance: the high school spends $13,570 per student but ranks lower than the elementary school. Student-teacher ratios are favorable across the district (13.1:1 to 14.8:1). A systemic weakness in Science and Social Studies is evident, with 5th-grade Science at Collins-Parr at just 11.82% proficiency (vs. 29.57% state) and 8th-grade Science at the middle school at 30.56% (vs. 46.25% state), suggesting a need for targeted curriculum improvements in these subjects.
