School Overview

Whitman Elementary sits in the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego, a solidly middle-class, family-friendly pocket of the city that's close to Mission Bay and feels a bit removed from the hustle of downtown. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a relative bright spot, making it a reasonable choice for families in the area who want a neighborhood school with decent fundamentals. Clairemont itself has that unpretentious, established San Diego feel — good weather, walkable streets, and a community that tends to put down roots.
