This school is a part of South Bay Union School District

South Bay Union School District is currently in a distressed state, characterized by a staggering 40% enrollment drop, chronic structural deficits, and a contentious school consolidation plan involving the closure of multiple campuses through 2032. While the district maintains a few well-regarded programs and utilizes bond funds for facility maintenance at select sites, the overall academic profile is weak, with several schools performing at the 2/10 and 3/10 levels. Severe labor tensions and a potential teacher strike, coupled with the postponement of specialized magnet programs to focus on foundational academic gaps, signal a district struggling to maintain operational and community stability amidst a shrinking tax base.
