The Preuss School UC San Diego is a unique charter middle and high school for low-income scholars who strive to become the first in their families to graduate from college. Located on the UC San Diego campus, nearly 100% of graduates of The Preuss School go on to higher education. Recognized as the best high school in the county by U.S. News & World Report, we are empowering scholars, elevating families and transforming communities.
The Preuss Promise
At The Preuss School UC San Diego, we have made a promise to prepare low-income, first-generation students to succeed in college and career. We do this through a unique partnership with a world-class university, longer learning times, experiential internships and a college mentorship program.
Congrats Class of 2025!
We are so proud of our Class of 2025 graduates! Of our 112 graduates, 93% of the scholars were accepted into a four-year university or college, all of them the first in their family to attend college. A special celebration was held in June at the Epstein Family Amphitheater at UC San Diego.
