Conocida por sus playas soleadas y clima templado mediterráneo, sus atracciones turísticas y convenciones internacionales, San Diego es un destino turístico popular. Sin embargo, esta ciudad cosmopolita y culta tiene otra faceta poco conocida a los turistas. Al este del centro de la ciudad y al sur de la carretera Martin Luther King Jr. se encuentra el área que los habitantes conocen como "the Southeast" (el sudeste). Durante las últimas tres décadas, ha sido plagada por la violencia de pandillas, el homicidio y la pobreza. De hecho, su reputación era tan mala que en 1992, el concejal George Stevens creó una campaña en contra de cualquier uso oficial de la designación "Southeast San Diego", refiriéndose a la connotación negativa percibida del término.
No obstante, algo significante ha estado ocurriendo en las escuelas primarias de esta parte de la ciudad. Mientras que escuelas de las áreas costeras y del norte de San Diego regularmente han calificado bien, ahora programas innovadores han comenzado a vigorizar a escuelas en zonas que se estaban dejando atrás.

Known for its sunny beaches and mild Mediterranean climate, its tourist attractions and international conventions, San Diego is a popular travel destination. Yet this cultured and cosmopolitan city has another face, which is little known to outsiders. East of downtown and south of the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway lies the area locals call "the Southeast." Through the last three decades, it has been plagued by gang violence, homicide, and poverty. In fact, its reputation was so bad back in 1992 that Councilman George Stevens campaigned against any official use of the designation "Southeast San Diego," pointing to the term's perceived negative connotations.
Yet something significant has been happening in the elementary schools in this part of the city. While schools in the coastal and northern areas of San Diego have usually scored well, now innovative programs have begun to energize schools in neighborhoods that were once left behind.
