NEWS RELEASE -- SD Unified keeps pace in 'Nation's Report Card'
NEWS RELEASE from the San Diego Unified School District, Dec. 18, 2013
SD UNIFIED KEEPS PACE IN 'NATION'S REPORT CARD'
BIENNIAL NATIONAL TESTING SHOWS DISTRICT CONTINUES AS ONE OF TOP LARGE
CITY SCHOOL SYSTEMS
SAN DIEGO -- The latest biennial "Nation's Report Card" released by the US
Department of Education shows that the San Diego Unified School District
continues to rank near the top of large city school systems across the
country.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress reading and math tests
administered in 2013 reports that San Diego Unified ranks among the
highest performing cities in the nation in fourth- and eighth grade
reading and math. The program tests students across the nation and in each
state, and it allows the 21 participating cities to compare their results
not only to California but to the nation and to other cities outside the
state.
Superintendent Cindy Marten indicated that the district received good
benchmark data from the assessment that will allow the school district to
know where it stands with comparable cities and where reforms will need to
focus going forward.
"Our culture of innovation, excellence, and creativity has allowed
teachers to concentrate on student achievement, giving San Diego Unified a
consistent spot near the top," said Marten. "As we transition to the new
Common Core State Standards, our focus is on increasing rigor, pacing, and
engagement as we challenge ourselves to come up with new ways to address
the persistent achievement gap and achievement in grade 8 math."
In Grade 4 reading, the 2013 score of 218 is up from 2003's score of 208.
The national public average this year was 221 with the large-city score at
212. Los Angeles came in at 205 while Fresno students scored 196.
Districts topping San Diego Unified nominally were Austin, Texas, and
Jefferson County, Ky., 221; Miami-Dade County Fla., 223;
Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, N.C., 226; Hillsborough County, Fla., 228.
As with mathematics, San Diego scored higher than several cities such as
Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Philadelphia. Houston actually posted a
significant decline in 4th grade reading scores on the 2013 assessment.
Grade 8 reading saw San Diego students score at 260 in 2013, up from the
250 in 2003. The 2013 average for large cities was 258, while the national
average for public schools was 266. Districts topping San Diego Unified
were Jefferson County, Ky., and Austin, Texas, at 261;
Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, N.C., 266; Hillsborough County, Fla., 267.
San Diego scored higher than cities such as Boston, Chicago, Dallas, and
Houston.
In Grade 4 math, San Diego Unified's scores have risen to 241 in 2013 from
226 in 2003--right at the national average and substantially above other
large city schools. The comparable Los Angeles score was 228 and Fresno's
was 220. Districts with somewhat higher scores than San Diego Unified
were: Hillsborough County, Fla., 243; Austin, Texas, 245; and
Charlotte-Mecklenburg, N.C., 247. San Diego scored higher than cities such
as Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and New York City.
In Grade 8, math, San Diego's 2013 score of 277 was up from the 264 in
2003. The 2013 average for large cities was 276, while the national
average for public schools was 284. Districts topping San Diego Unified
were Houston, 280; Boston, 283; Hillsborough County, Fla., 284; Austin,
Texas, 285; and Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, N.C., 289. Among California
districts, Los Angeles was 205 and Fresno, 196. San Diego out-scored
cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
"Over the last decade, the San Diego schools have posted some of the
largest academic increases of any city nationwide -- something that is
very hard to do given its already high academic achievement compared with
other cities," said Michael Casserly, Executive Director of the Council of
the Great City Schools. "This is particularly impressive given the
frequent leadership transitions, major personnel changes, and significant
budget cuts that the school system has experienced over that period. We
are enormously optimistic about the reforms that the school system is
launching under its new superintendent."
Data on individual schools is not provided by this study. For more

MEDIA ADVISORY
San Diego Unified Names Kevin Beiser New Board President
Board Trustee Marne Foster Named Vice President
SAN DIEGO — (December 11, 2013) On Tuesday, December 10th, San Diego Unified School Board of Trustees elected Kevin Beiser its new President and fellow Trustee Marne Foster as Vice President.
“I look forward to working together to continue improving public education with quality schools in every neighborhood,” Beiser said shortly after the meeting.
Beiser was elected to the Board of Trustees in 2010 representing District B and is also a Math teacher. Prior to his election, Beiser’s work with his students earned him “San Diego Math Teacher of the Year” honors in 2008-2009.
“My experience in the classroom, working side by side with school administrators and parents alike has given me a unique insight as to how the policies that are developed by the Board and the Superintendent’s office affect those of us on the front lines,” Beiser said. “I’m honored that my Board colleagues found that experience helpful and I look forward to working with Superintendent Marten to continue creating a world-class classroom experience for our students.”
Beiser had served as Board Vice President for one year and hands that position over to San Diego native Marne Foster, who represents District E. “I'm excited!” said Foster. “I look forward to continuing this work to create the conditions where ALL students can succeed, and value the listening and collaborating with SDUSD internal and external stakeholders to make it happen."

MEDIA ADVISORY -- Hour of Code Activity for Over 4,000 SDUSD Students
MEDIA ADVISORY December 9, 2013
Contact: Lisa McDonnell
(619) 306-3957
Hour of Code Activity for Over 4,000 SDUSD Students
WHAT: Over 4,000 San Diego Unified students will participate in a massive campaign to get 10 million students of all ages to participate in a self-guided activity geared to encourage interest in the field of computer science. The event is called The Hour of Code and highlights Computer Science Education Week.
WHEN: Tuesday and Thursday, December 10 and 12 (rain or shine)
WHERE: Various middle and high schools throughout the district
Please contact Lisa McDonnell for a list of participating schools
VISUALS: Students collaborating with other students on online tutorials.
BACKGROUND: The Hour of Code is a massive campaign to get 10 million students of all ages to participate in a self-guided activity that every student, in every classroom, can do. The event takes place during the second week of December (Dec. 9 – 13) to highlight Computer Science Education Week, a celebration geared to encourage interest in the field and show that anyone can learn the basics. Simple computer science activities can help nurture creativity, problem solving skills and critical thinking. By getting a feel for computational thinking early, students will have a foundation for classes in any future career path and shows students how to create, not simply use, new technology. As Steve Jobs stated, "Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer . . . because it teaches you how to think."
This year, the Office of College, Career and Technical Education is supporting middle and high schools throughout the district to participate. A group of teachers chose a lesson that can be accomplished at both the middle and high school levels and presents an easy-to-understand example of the thinking behind writing computer code. Select high school courses will participate on Tuesday, December 10th while select middle school courses will participate on Thursday, December 12th.
Many of the targeted high school courses will be asked to send a few students to the middle school in their cluster to assist the students there. The activities are self-guided, online tutorials. There may also be a sampling of local business professionals assisting in the participating classrooms throughout the week.
The courses involved in the Hour of Code are not just computer science courses. Additional curriculum areas include Engineering courses at both the middle and high school levels, Geographic Information Systems, Business Management and Ownership, Website Architecture, Statistics, Marketing, Intermediate Algebra, English and many others. Photography students from Point Loma and Kearny Digital Media and Design High Schools will be traveling the district to digitally record the event.
