School Overview

Tucked into the Del Cerro neighborhood of San Diego, Hearst Elementary is one of those schools that quietly earns its strong reputation through consistent, well-rounded academics across English, math, and science. Families who live in this hilly, residential pocket of the city — close to Mission Trails Regional Park and a short drive from everything San Diego has to offer — tend to be deeply invested in their kids' education, and that community energy shows up in the school. It's a great fit for families looking for a high-performing neighborhood school without the chaos of a big-city campus feel.
