In Opinion: Our students’ and families’ futures deserve and depend upon more than quick enrollment changes.
I’m proud to be a product of our San Francisco public schools. The Examiner’s recent Marina Middle School expose, however, is the latest indictment of the conditions and chaotic atmosphere of our schools today.
In 2019, the district announced that just 61% of middle school graduates were ready for high school. ANY high school. And yet students were sent forward. Today, those percentages have only worsened to 56% of eighth graders reaching or surpassing grade level proficiency in English and 43% in math. At the cost of $500,000, the consultant running the High School Task Force has developed a student/parent survey with no input from task force members that is intended to guide them over the next 10-12 weeks to make a recommendation about Lowell and SOTA admissions. Thus far, nothing has been shared with the task force or the public on essential facts and data on which to base any decision to change Lowell admissions.
The burning crisis facing all our families in all our middle schools must be faced first. The task force should delay its consideration of high school admissions until it understands and improves on what is going on in our middle schools.
