Neighborhood

Known for its Spanish-style homes and manicured lawns, the Kensington neighborhood in northern San Diego offers residents a quiet place to get away from the hubbub of city life. The neighborhood lies just south of the I-8 freeway in the pocket created by I-15, Montezuma Road, and Fairmount Avenue Expressway to create an oasis that's only 15 minutes from the downtown area.

Stroll through the compact neighborhood on a balmy evening or join other locals at the Kensington Club for drinks and live music. If you want genuine Mexican food, make your way to Ponce's, a hole-in-the-wall treasure and Kensington's best-kept secret.

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.
