School Overview

Kempton Street Literacy Academy sits in the working-class community of Spring Valley, just east of San Diego, where families are deeply rooted and the neighborhood has a strong sense of longtime local identity. Despite its name, the school faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom tenth percentile statewide across English, math, and science — something families considering enrollment should weigh carefully. This school may appeal most to families already living nearby who value the community connections and are looking to be active partners in their child's educational journey, since strong parental involvement can make a meaningful difference in schools working through these kinds of challenges.
