What the reported data says about TRACE
TRACE is a public high school serving grades 09–12 in San Diego. It is one of 175 current school records connected to San Diego Unified. NCES reports 437 students for 2024–25.
Among 2,195 high schools in California with comparable records, this school is close in size to the reported median of 416 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 51st percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 12.6:1, below the California median of 19.2:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (60.4%) and Black (13.5%). English learners represent 19.6% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 99.3%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports computer science. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
