Best Public Schools in Zip Code 92102

Summary:

The 92102 zip code area of San Diego, California is home to 15 schools serving students from elementary through high school. This diverse set of schools includes 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, providing educational options for the local community.

Among the standout schools in the area is Albert Einstein Academies, a public charter school serving grades K-8 that consistently performs well, ranking in the top 2,000 elementary schools in California and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Gompers Preparatory Academy, a public charter high school, has a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.9% but lags behind the state in academic performance. Sherman Elementary, a public school, also stands out with above-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the San Diego Unified School District.

However, many schools in the 92102 zip code face significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates and a majority of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While some schools, like Albert Einstein Academies and Sherman Elementary, are performing above average, others, such as Horton Elementary and Kimbrough Elementary, are struggling to meet state and district standards. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted support to the schools with the greatest needs will be crucial for improving educational outcomes and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in this community.
