School Overview

National City sits just south of San Diego, a tight-knit, working-class community with deep roots and a strong sense of neighborhood pride. Otis Elementary reflects that spirit — it's a school where the community shows up, even if test scores place it in the middle of the pack statewide. Families who are hands-on and looking to be an active part of their child's school life, rather than just drop them off, will likely find a welcoming home here.
