About San Marcos, California
San Marcos is a city in the North County region of San Diego County, California, United States. On April 22, 1840, Governor Juan B. Alvarado granted Rancho Vallecitos de San Marcos to his relative, Jose María Alvarado. Jose Alvarado was killed at the Pauma Massacre in 1846, and the land was left to his wife; she then sold the land to Lorenzo Soto. An illuminated cross on a hill above Lake San Marcos that is visible at night from many parts of the city has been a community landmark for decades. (Wikipedia)

On-campus criminal offenses reported under the Clery Act, 2022–2024, across 5 campuses (4,370 students). Counts reflect reports, not convictions — schools with strong reporting cultures often show more, so a higher count doesn't simply mean a more dangerous campus.
