Summary:
The 91932 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, spread across two different school districts - Sweetwater Union High and South Bay Union. While some schools, like Mar Vista Senior High, demonstrate positive outcomes, others struggle with chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and high rates of economic disadvantage.
Mar Vista Senior High stands out with the highest enrollment, the highest 4-year graduation rate, and the lowest dropout rate, though its test scores are mixed. Imperial Beach Charter also performs relatively well on ELA tests, while Bayside STEAM Academy excels in 3rd and 4th grade math. However, several schools, including Central Elementary and Imperial Beach Charter, have very high chronic absenteeism rates, indicating a significant challenge for the district.
The data reveals wide gaps in performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools, even within the same district, and the SBUSD Virtual Academy struggles with low test scores, highlighting the difficulties of virtual learning. The San Diego County Special Education school also stands out with its focus on serving students with significant special education needs. Overall, addressing these disparities and supporting the lowest-performing schools should be a priority for the districts and the community.
