“Second only to the hard work of our dedicated, outstanding teachers and administrators, the constant support and funding from Coronado Schools Foundation has made the most significant positive impact on our overall educational program and student progress. The STEAM-related and other enriching opportunities every Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) student has because CSF helps provide what education ought to be. Without CSF’s donor direct financial support, education in Coronado would be very different. – Claudia Gallant, Senior Director of Learning and Instruction
CUSD is once again the highest performing unified school district (K-12) in San Diego County, based on Academic Performance Index (API) scores. Coronado students gained ground on other schools around the state by increasing scores on the API results taken from our STAR testing in May 2013.
Each spring students take a formalized assessment (STAR) to examine their knowledge in various subjects. The District gained two points maintaining its title as the highest API score among unified districts in San Diego County. Coronado High School and Village Elementary remain among the top of San Diego County schools and in the top 10% of California schools, far exceeding the state benchmark of 800.
In addition, Silver Strand Elementary and Coronado Middle School student achievement increased the overall school Academic Performance Index (API) score to 906 and 923, respectively, record levels for both schools.
