Euclid Elementary, San Diego CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Euclid Elementary

Euclid Elementary is a small kindergarten through fifth-grade school in San Diego serving just over four hundred students. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the enrollment is predominantly Hispanic, with substantial Asian and Black populations as well. The school is part of San Diego Unified, the county's largest district.

On California state assessments for 2024-25, Euclid's results show students are struggling across both math and English language arts. In third grade, fewer than one in five students met proficiency in math, and roughly one in five in ELA. Performance rises somewhat in fourth and fifth grades—roughly one-third of students reach proficiency in math by fifth grade, and about half do so in ELA by fourth grade. In fifth-grade science, just under one-third of students tested as proficient. Across all tested grades and subjects, the school's overall proficiency sits below the midpoint when compared to other county schools that serve similar grades.

The pattern here is important to understand. The lowest results come in the earliest tested grades, and performance generally improves as students move up. This could reflect students' cumulative time in the school, different cohorts of learners, or a range of other factors. A parent considering this school would want to ask the principal directly how the school approaches early math and reading instruction, what interventions exist for students who fall behind, and whether staff see the grade-by-grade growth pattern as evidence of effective catch-up work or as a sign that earlier grades need strengthening.

Euclid sits in the 92105 zip code on the city's north side. Housing values in that area are moderate relative to San Diego's broader market and are down slightly year over year. Rents have risen modestly. The school's location makes it an option for families already living in the neighborhood or those drawn to San Diego's North Park or City Heights areas.

San Diego Unified has undertaken significant shifts in recent years. The district adopted a standards-based grading system for secondary schools starting in 2021-22, which separates academic performance from citizenship and behavior and allows students to reassess. That change does not directly affect Euclid, which serves only elementary grades, but it sets the culture and expectations families encounter when their children move into middle school. The district also made ethnic studies a high school graduation requirement and approved a large facilities bond. These are district-wide priorities that frame the environment students grow into after elementary.

For a family weighing Euclid, the key questions are neighborhood fit and what support systems the school offers to students reading and computing below grade level. The proficiency data shows that a large share of the student body is not meeting California's standards, particularly in early elementary. What matters most is whether the school has clear, intensive plans to help students catch up and whether those plans show results. State data alone does not answer that. A conversation with the school about reading intervention, math support, and how it tracks progress for struggling learners would be essential before deciding.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
