Southwest High School (SOH) is a public high school in San Diego, California, United States. It was established in 1975. It was built on the site of a small railroad yard owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad along the original San Diego-Tijuana line. It existed until the mid-1930s when the tracks were moved east to the present-day trolley tracks.
Part of the Sweetwater Union High School District, it serves all socioeconomic communities of San Diego (specifically the Nestor community), as well as some students living in Chula Vista, Imperial Beach and San Ysidro. The school serves approximately 1,750 students.




History


A Southwest High School senior achieved a perfect score on the 2015 AP Spanish Language and Culture exam, one of only 55 students worldwide to do so. After exiting the English Learner program, the student went to college prep courses and took multiple AP classes. The accomplishment was supported by the school and Sweetwater Union High School District.




Academics


The school has shown achievements in academic competitions such as Academic Decathlon, in which they held six consecutive county titles from 2003–2008 and received 3rd place in the 2009 and 2010 competitions. Along with these six consecutive county titles, Southwest High School is the first school in San Diego County to have achieved five and later six consecutive county titles. The Varsity Academic League won eight varsity Metro [District] championship titles in 1999, 2001, 2003–2007, and 2009. The Varsity won their division nine times in 1999, 2001, and 2003–2010. The varsity team in 2005 concluded their season by winning the County Academic League title beating La Jolla High School 124–53 making it the highest score in San Diego County Academic League championship history. For their accomplishments in League and Decathlon the San Diego County School Board declared in 2005 that June 17 would be known as Southwest High Academics Day. The JV Academic League held 8 consecutive Metro championship titles from 2001–2008 and have won their division for 10 years in a row from 2001-2010 (also an 11th win back in 1999).
