There is no question that La Jolla is a great place to live - from the beautiful beaches to the award winning restaurant scene.
But an even more important factor is the quality of the school system in this city, with the UCSD charter Preuss Middle and High School leading the way.
The school's website writesRecognized by Newsweek as the top transformative high school in the nation for three years in a row, The Preuss School UCSD is a unique charter middle and high school for low income, highly motivated students who strive to become the first in their families to graduate from college. Talk about an admirable mandate for a school catering to students with the drive to pursue higher education but without the financial means to do so otherwise.
The Preuss school ranks 4th in California and 40th in the nation on the Washington Post list of America's most challenging high schools. It also ranked 5th in the state and 42nd in the nation on the US News & World Report list of Best high schools.
ALL students are required to take Advanced Placement courses and the school has a tough 92% pass rate for these college level classes.
Preuss School is located at 3650 Voigt Dr, San Diego, CA 92037. Call (858) 658-7404 for more information.
