San Diego Unified School District reported strong progress across most performance measures in its latest 2025 data. The district showed gains in six out of seven key indicators, highlighting improvements in student outcomes.
Chronic absenteeism fell significantly, reflecting efforts to keep students engaged and attending school regularly. Schools implemented programs such as early intervention, family outreach, and support services to address attendance challenges.
Suspension rates also improved, with fewer students receiving disciplinary action. The district emphasized restorative practices, conflict resolution programs, and positive behavior interventions as key factors in reducing suspensions.
Academic achievement measures showed growth as well. Students demonstrated higher proficiency in reading and math, as well as stronger performance on statewide assessments. Educators attributed these gains to targeted instruction, tutoring programs, and personalized learning strategies.
San Diego Unified officials noted that collaborative efforts between teachers, administrators, and community partners were essential to these improvements. Professional development and resources aimed at supporting diverse student needs contributed to better outcomes.
The district continues to focus on equity, tracking progress for students from historically underserved groups. Targeted programs ensure that all students have access to quality instruction, support services, and enrichment opportunities.
Parents and community members are encouraged to review the district’s performance data. Transparent reporting helps families understand school performance, monitor progress, and participate in initiatives that support student success.
While the overall results are encouraging, the district acknowledges there is more work to do. Ongoing efforts will focus on improving the remaining performance indicator and sustaining gains in attendance, behavior, and achievement.
Additional measures include college and career readiness programs. More students are completing advanced coursework and participating in programs that prepare them for postsecondary education and workforce opportunities.
The district’s progress reflects the dedication of students, teachers, and staff. It shows that focused interventions, community engagement, and equity-driven strategies can drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes.
San Diego Unified’s success serves as a model for other districts striving to improve performance across multiple indicators. By maintaining targeted programs and fostering collaboration, the district aims to continue building on these positive results.
Through these efforts, San Diego students are experiencing better attendance, improved behavior, and stronger academic outcomes, creating a foundation for long-term success and community growth.
