Superintendent's Message

The California School Dashboard is an online tool that provides communities with information about schools and districts statewide. It presents reports on multiple measures of school performance for districts, schools, and student groups.

 

South Bay proudly serves as the foundation for the community in which students grow academically and socially. This commitment is demonstrated through the notable academic achievements and growth of our students based on the 2024–25 state testing results. Our students demonstrated meaningful progress across core academic areas. Our results show an increase of 6.1 points in Mathematics and an impressive 10.6-point gain in English Language Arts!

 

The English Language Progress Indicator measures the percentage of English Learners who are advancing toward English language proficiency, and this year’s results tell an inspiring story of growth and determination. Nearly half of our students are English Learners, and their achievements this year are truly extraordinary. Students demonstrated a remarkable 7.4 percentage‑point increase in language proficiency compared to last year, with 51.4% progressing at least one proficiency level. In addition, our Long‑Term English Learners made significant strides, showing an impressive 24% increase.

 

Overall student growth was widespread, as 78.3% of students improved their English Language Arts scores and 71.8% showed growth in Mathematics compared to their prior year performance.

 

This success is rooted in our intentional approach to instruction, including a clearly defined scope and sequence and ongoing professional learning for staff. We are proud of the growth our students have achieved and remain committed to building on this momentum to ensure continued success for all learners.
