High Schools in San Diego Unified

The San Diego Unified School District is home to 25 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. These schools vary significantly in their performance, with some standout institutions like Scripps Ranch High and Mira Mesa High consistently ranking among the top 10% of California high schools, while others like Lincoln High and Twain High struggle with lower graduation rates and test scores.

The data reveals stark performance disparities within the San Diego Unified district. Schools like Scripps Ranch High, Mira Mesa High, and University City High boast exceptional graduation rates, test scores, and low chronic absenteeism, while others like Lincoln High, Twain High, and Garfield High struggle with much lower performance metrics.

The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and school performance, with the schools serving higher proportions of economically disadvantaged students, such as Hoover High, Crawford High, and Twain High, tending to have lower graduation rates, test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism. Addressing these disparities will require a multifaceted approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of individual schools and their communities.
