In addition, the San Diego Union Tribune released an article today about the trends in the SBAC data and the impact of the pandemic on student learning. The article includes a complete list of all of the schools in San Diego County and how they fared on SBAC testing.

I know that there have been comparisons made between our District schools and neighboring schools, particularly with middle school SBAC scores. A recap of the scores for the San Dieguito middle schools and the Carlsbad middle schools compared to our scores is as follows:

R. Roger Rowe Elementary School scores are reported as 90% Proficient/Advanced in English Language Arts (a 1% decrease from the 18-19 school year) and 89% Proficient/Advanced in mathematics (a 3% increase from the 2018-19 school year).

We are very proud of our accomplishments and know that they can be attributed to:

• Our hard work to reopen schools in 20-21,
• COVID testing and protocols put in place to keep students in school through the second year of COVID illnesses and modified quarantines,
• new curriculum in key areas,
• and professional development work to continually improve instruction in the classrooms.
