But Long Beach Unified School District scores consistently higher in all metrics that constitute a competent school district — metrics where San Francisco often falls flat.
A side-by-side comparison finds similar numbers for enrollment and demographics between SFUSD and its slightly larger counterpart in Southern California. So why is San Francisco falling behind its peers when it has a smaller student population, fewer socioeconomically disadvantaged students and access to millions in grant money over a decade from tech titans who call The City home?
Community engagement and parent participation are metrics used to assess a school district’s success, according to the District Readiness Index — and Long Beach scores high, or has “strong foundations,” whereas San Francisco lacks those foundations. Posting a recent budget to the school district website, opportunities for two-way communication with families and family and community involvement in decision-making processes are integral to a successful school-community partnership.
Important but overlooked point: SFUSD includes its own County Office of Ed while LBUSD does not. There are many essential functions that LBUSD does not have to perform for itself.
