Best Public Schools in Zip Code 91944

Summary:

The 91944 zip code is home to a single public high school, Grossmont High, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Grossmont Union High School District. Grossmont High has a total enrollment of 2,175 students and a student-teacher ratio of 24.3, slightly higher than the state average.

Academically, Grossmont High's performance is mixed, with students scoring above the district and state averages in English Language Arts/Literacy but below the district and state averages in Mathematics and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate is 79.5%, and its dropout rate is 18.9%. Additionally, Grossmont High has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1%, which is a concern and may impact student achievement.

Despite these challenges, Grossmont High maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing reasonably well compared to other high schools in California. However, the school's high percentage of students (59.49%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests it serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may require additional resources and support services to address the unique needs of this student demographic.
