San Dieguito High School Academy, originally known as San Dieguito Union High School and San Dieguito High School, is a high school in the San Dieguito Union High School District in Encinitas, California, San Diego County, which was established in 1936.
1,584 students were enrolled at San Dieguito High School Academy in the 2013-2014 school year with a senior class of over 350 students. The pupil-teacher ratio is 27:1. The average SAT score in 2013-2014 was 1840 and the average ACT score was 27. The student body is 71% Caucasian, 21% Hispanic, 7% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 2% other.
The school was founded in 1936 as the first public high school within the new San Dieguito Union High School District, educating students in grades 8 through 12.[2]
As the campus had not yet been built when school started September 14, 1936, students attended classes in tents.
In 1996 San Dieguito High School was re-designed as a "school of choice" and renamed San Dieguito High School Academy to offer a student centered environment for a maximum of 1,450 students. [3]
All students living within the district may enroll at either La Costa Canyon High School or Torrey Pines High School within their attendance areas, but they are also eligible to attend San Dieguito Academy and Canyon Crest Academy, both of which are designed to be "schools of choice." Typically, more students apply than there are available spaces, so a lottery of applicants is conducted to determine who may attend. New students with siblings that already attend SDA are automatically enrolled to the school.
