Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

      Good location

      Good location, in San Diego. Lots of restaurants, bars, stores less than two blocks away. Good transportation system. Bad parking options. Management is not too responsive. It will take you more than two months to solve something with them.
