Coronado High School at 650 D Avenue is the only public high school in the Coronado Unified School District, serving grades nine through twelve with an enrollment of approximately 999 students from Coronado Island's 92118 residential neighborhoods and the military family housing communities at Naval Air Station North Island and Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. Established in 1913 — the same year CUSD was chartered — the campus was rebuilt in 1939 as a Works Progress Administration project and earned California Distinguished School designation in 2011 and two Model Continuation High School awards in 2014 and 2018. U.S. News & World Report ranks CHS 175th among California high schools and 1,285th nationally, with a 59-percent Advanced Placement participation rate across coursework in English Literature, Calculus, Sciences, and Social Sciences that feeds college-bound graduates into University of California, California State University, and private-university admission pipelines. The D Avenue campus houses the Coronado School of the Arts, a six-conservatory pre-professional arts program in classical voice, musical theatre, dance, drama, visual arts, and digital film that draws auditioned students from across San Diego County — giving CHS a performing-arts enrollment pipeline no other public high school on the Coronado Island or Silver Strand corridor can match. The Islander mascot and green-black-white athletic colors anchor a sports program competing in CIF San Diego Section across football, basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse, tennis, swimming, water polo, cross country, and surfing, with the Brian Bent Memorial Aquatics Complex providing a 52-meter competition pool for swim and water polo training on the same D Avenue campus. The school's attendance boundary includes both NASNI and Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, meaning roughly one-third of the student body turns over on a two-to-three-year PCS rotation cycle that makes CHS one of the most transient-population high schools in San Diego County while simultaneously maintaining top-quartile academic performance metrics statewide. Orange Avenue and the Hotel Del Coronado resort district are a five-block walk west from the D Avenue campus entrance.
