Progress
Yes, in both subjects. In 2025, students here in grade 4 scored 7 points higher in English than California students who had the same score the year before. The state calls that Accelerated. In math, they scored 5 points higher, which the state calls Accelerated.
English
+7
points higher than California students who had the same score a year earlier. The state calls it Accelerated, the fourth of its five growth levels.

The state calls this comparison an expected score. It sets one for each student from that student’s own score the year before.
California uses each student’s English and math scores from the year before to set an expected score, based on how students with similar earlier scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as expected. In English they scored 7 points above that expected score, and in math 5 points above it.
The state sorts every school’s growth result into five growth levels, from Minimal to Exceptional.
Here, as at most schools, the state’s figure blends the two most recent years, so it moves more slowly than one year’s scores.
Over time
Results in both subjects were similar to 2025. English went from 74% to 76% and math from 78% to 81%.

What you can do
San Diego Unified’s board decides Sunset View’s plan.
When the plan is set
San Diego Unified’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.
How to take part
State support
The state hasn’t placed Sunset View in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source
Extra state help for the district
The state is giving San Diego Unified extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 California School Dashboard. The county office must help the district for at least three years, including a review of its yearly plan.
Extra help for San Diego Unified: CDE’s assistance status file for the 2025 California School Dashboard. Source
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

Getting in
Ask San Diego Unified which school serves your address.
From the district’s 2026 attendance boundaries. A boundary doesn’t guarantee a place. Transfers, permits, magnets and other programs can change the path. Check your child’s address and current assignment with the district. Explore schools on the map

CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes.

These figures are not directly comparable: school ESSA attributed spending and NCES district current expense use different measures and populations. Their fiscal years are labeled above.
SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.
