Less Than Half of San Francisco Students Are High-School Ready. More Than a Fourth Are Chronically Absent.

For the 2021-2022 school year, just 47 percent of eighth graders were deemed ready for high school. Twenty-eight percent of students in the San Francisco Unified School District are "chronically absent"—a proportion that has doubled since the 2019-2020 school year. Two-thirds of African-American students fall into that category.

Despite the declining academic performance, San Francisco city officials have debated whether or not to rename schools or remove murals dedicated to important figures in American history. Three progressive members of the San Francisco school board were recalled earlier this year after parents opposed the district's focus on social justice issues over education.

In English Language Arts, 42 percent of students in the district scored below proficient, with 72 percent of African Americans and 66 percent of "Latinx" at reading levels deemed unsatisfactory for their grade levels.

Only Asian students in San Francisco are more likely than not to be prepared for high school. The proportion of students prepared has dropped 13 percent since 2021.

As long as they know to vote for the “D” and know where to find an “advocate” to fill out their welfare papers there is no problem with this.

A young man I worked with dropped out of HS and immediately got his GED. He had a wide skill set. Although I was 3 times his age he was the manager and great.

Yet no one will be fired. The teachers and administrators will continue their destruction and collect a big pension for doing so.

Same thing crossed my mind. I think we’re on to something here.

Even if someone has a high school diploma, that means so little, and is so variable, that GED with scoring might be a useful thing for a hiring manager.
