Middle School

Middle schools create safe environments for students to begin exploring new academic experiences through the arts, foreign languages, and other electives. School leaders and students work together to create a welcoming culture for all students. New opportunities exist for students to expand their academic interests and social network through clubs and other activities. These new opportunities enrich the academic learning that takes place in every San Diego school.

In comparison with schools in other American cities, San Diego Unified elementary and middle schools have demonstrated superior academic progress in recent years.

We encourage every parent to schedule a tour of their neighborhood school to learn more about the programs and opportunities that are available. Tours are available at tours@sandi.net.
