Dana

Tucked into the Point Loma peninsula, Dana Middle serves the tail end of elementary school in one of San Diego's most tight-knit coastal neighborhoods — the kind of place where families walk to the beach after school and neighbors actually know each other's names. The school shines especially in English, landing in the 90th percentile statewide, making it a strong fit for families who prioritize literacy and communication skills. With solid scores across the board and a community that genuinely invests in its schools, Dana is a natural choice for Point Loma families looking for a confident step into the middle grades.
