Summary:
The 92108 zip code area in San Diego is home to two schools: San Diego Virtual, an alternative public charter virtual school serving grades K-12, and Nipaquay Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades K-5. These schools serve diverse student populations, with San Diego Virtual having a higher percentage of Hispanic students and Nipaquay Elementary having a more balanced racial makeup.
While San Diego Virtual outperforms the state average in 11th-grade English Language Arts and End of Course English Language Arts, it lags behind in mathematics, with only 4.76% of 8th-grade students proficient in Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics. Additionally, San Diego Virtual has a lower four-year graduation rate (76.9%) and a higher dropout rate (8.2%) compared to the state average. This may be attributed to the school's higher percentage of students (64.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

The student-teacher ratio at Nipaquay Elementary is higher at 18.1, compared to 16.5 at San Diego Virtual.
