SAUSD publishes a report each year describing the state of the district to families and community members. The 2017-18 annual report opens with contextual information about the district and some key accomplishments, such as four of their high schools being ranked among the best high schools in the nation by US News & World Report. The district has organized the report around three goals: (1) preparing students for the 21st century, (2) ensuring equitable access and high quality learning for all students, and (3) creating a safe environment for students and staff. The district lists key measures they are monitoring over time to gauge progress toward their goals, such as reading scores in 3rd grade and EL resignation rates, plus results so far in other important benchmarks. The document also describes some of the district’s most successful programs, such as their education and community business partnerships, early literacy programs, and family programs.
