SAN DIEGO – Students in the San Diego Unified School District either meeting or exceeding state standards in English language arts and mathematics declined by 4% and 7.4%, respectively, since 2019, district officials announced Monday.
The CSBA results provide baseline data on student achievement, and are among several measures San Diego Unified relies on to gauge academic performance, a district statement read. The data is intended to help inform the district’s efforts to meet the needs of all students amid the pandemic and going forward.
Board of Education President Sharon Whitehurst-Payne said the pandemic exacerbated existing trends in student performance, and “reinforced the need to focus on the whole child.”
