The San Diego Unified School District serves more than 135,000 students in pre-school through grade 12. It is the second largest district in California, and eighth largest urban district in the United States. The student population is extremely diverse, representing more than 15 ethnic groups and over 60 languages and dialects.
Since its founding on July 1, 1854, the district has grown from a small, rented school building with one teacher to its current state—more than 221 educational facilities with 14,555 full-time equivalent staff positions representing more than 15,800 employees. The district's educational facilities include 118 elementary schools, 24 middle schools, 29 high schools, 35 charter schools, and 15 atypical or alternative schools.
Key to the district's success is its work with businesses, community leaders and volunteers, as well as its relationships with local colleges and universities. About 1,500 businesses and community organizations are Partners in Education. The district has also benefited from time contributed by more than 28,000 individual volunteers. Approximately 70% of volunteers provide services directly in the classroom.
