Insight @ San Diego scores 42 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 40th percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “31% proficient” and call it done. Insight @ San Diego deserves a closer read. The school sits in Simi Valley, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Insight @ San Diego enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
