With an enrollment of 531 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of California middle schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.
San Ysidro Middle faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.71% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 47.04% statewide, and just 12.97% were proficient in mathematics, compared to 35.54% statewide. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also increased from 5.1% in 2017-2018 to 35.7% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 62.34% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a predominantly low-income population.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Vista Del Mar, which is less than a mile away, San Ysidro Middle lags behind in academic performance. However, an analysis of student subgroups shows that certain groups, such as English Language Learners and Homeless students, have performed relatively better than the overall student population, suggesting that targeted interventions and support for these subgroups may be more effective. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted academic interventions, developing a comprehensive attendance and engagement strategy, and providing additional resources and support for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
