Summary:
The city of Jamul, California is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through alternative education, including Jamul Elementary, Oak Grove Middle, and Greater San Diego Academy. While the district-run elementary and middle schools have lower proficiency rates compared to the state average, the alternative Greater San Diego Academy stands out as a high-performing school with significantly lower chronic absenteeism and stronger academic outcomes.
Greater San Diego Academy, an alternative public charter school, has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 11.8% and outperforms the state average in many subject areas, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Jamul Elementary and Oak Grove Middle have higher chronic absenteeism rates of 33.3% and 32.7% respectively, which may contribute to their lower proficiency rates compared to the state.
The student-teacher ratio also varies across the schools, with Oak Grove Middle having the lowest ratio of 20.4, which could allow for more personalized instruction. Overall, the data suggests that while the district-run schools have room for improvement, the alternative Greater San Diego Academy is providing a more engaging and effective educational experience for its students.
