is a city in San Diego County, California, United States. The city is named after Milton Santee, second husband of Jennie Blodgett, whose first husband was George A. Cowles, a ranching pioneer in the San Diego area. As of 2006, Santee had a population of 54,709.
Santee has two school districts: Santee School District and Grossmont Union High School District. Unlike traditional school districts that operate with elementary schools (k-5) and middle schools (6-8), all schools in the Santee School District are kindergarten through eighth grade, but separate their campuses into "Elementary" (k-6) and "Junior High" (7-8), also having different schedules. West Hills High School was rated the best high school among the Grossmont Union High School District.
