Rating 3.91 out of 5 751 reviews
The San Diego Unified school district is a very welcoming environment and brings a sense of belonging. This district prioritizes serving the public good and racial equity. The best parts I experienced were having the opportunity to participate in athletics and having the district provide support programs for students who need the extra help and assistance. What I would like to see change is lowering the academic workload since there are students who are involved in extracurricular activities and provide more learning opportunities that will allow students to be successful.
San Diego Unified is a strong school district They offer a wide range of classes for all academic interests as well as a large variety of sports. I like how I can choose from many different electives and can try different classes to see what I am interested in. I also like that they offer many AP courses and college classes. There is something for everyone. However, there are some issues with good teachers that are really passionate about teaching. Additionally, the new 4-point grading scale is annoying as it makes it harder to excel and show your understanding.
I have been in the San Diego Unified School district since 2nd grade. I feel that the district offers good resources and support to all types of students. Free meals are offered to all students. Most teachers are kind and hardworking, creating a strong learning environment for students. Many subjects are covered and several clubs plus programs are available for students to participate in. Also, we have counselors and other administrators who are their to support struggling students. The district can improve the quality of the food they serve and maintain the campus better. Also, regulations such as mask mandates should be taken more seriously to ensure the safety of students and staff.
