Summary:
The city of San Diego, Texas is home to three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the San Diego Independent School District (ISD). These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with economic challenges that contribute to their generally below-average performance on standardized tests compared to state and district averages.
Collins-Parr Elementary stands out for its very high Hispanic enrollment (97.81%) and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (92.59%), indicating significant economic disadvantage. While the school's reading proficiency is closer to district and state levels, its mathematics and science performance lags behind. In contrast, San Diego High School has an even higher Hispanic population (99.3%) and a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.3%, but also a concerning dropout rate of 3.4%.
The middle school, Bernarda Jaime J H, also has a very high Hispanic enrollment (97.64%) and generally underperforms on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and social studies, though its mathematics proficiency is closer to district and state averages. Across all three schools, the lack of racial diversity, economic challenges, and academic performance issues suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for students in the San Diego ISD.
