Central Elementary

Central Elementary sits in the 92105 zip code, a working-class neighborhood in the City Heights area of San Diego where families from dozens of cultural backgrounds — many of them recent immigrants — have put down roots. The school's scores reflect the real challenges of serving a high-need community, but for families looking for a school deeply embedded in a diverse, tight-knit urban neighborhood, Central is part of a larger City Heights story that has seen meaningful community investment over the years. Families who value cultural richness and community connection, and who are engaged in supplementing their child's education at home, tend to find a home here.
