San Joaquin Literacy Report Card
Through Open Books, our annual communitywide literacy report card, we aim to draw attention to and focus resources on the factors that most significantly influence reading ability, especially school readiness, parent engagement, attendance and enrichment. We believe that by working in alliance and holding ourselves collectively accountable for results, we can help secure a promising future for our children and our community.
2019 San Joaquin County Literacy Report Card
This annual literacy report card tracks grade-level reading and mathematics as well as absenteeism data for all public schools in San Joaquin County.
The data is from the California Department of Education.
The department’s California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) for the 2018-19 school year tracks whether students exceed, meet, nearly meet or do not meet achievement levels for their grade in reading and mathematics. Some key reading and mathematics findings:
- Reading (English Language Arts/Literacy or ELA) for all tested grades in San Joaquin was at 43.2% either exceeding or meeting standards. The state average is 50.2%
- For mathematics, San Joaquin County was 30.9% exceeding or meeting standards for all tested grades. The state average is (39.7%).
- The “Reading By Third Grade” metric for San Joaquin County as a whole improved almost 2 percentage points (40.8% compared to 39.1% last year).
The California Department of Education also tracks Chronic Absenteeism. Students are chronically absent if they miss 10 percent or more school days for any reason (unexcused or excused absences or suspension).
There was incremental improvement at the San Joaquin County level and a regression at the state level for the 2018-19 school year. San Joaquin County improved to 14.2 percent (from 14.5) students chronically absent and the state dropped to 12 percent (from 11.1) in the new chronic absenteeism statistics.
Included in this report card is a breakdown of all public schools in the county for grade-level reading and mathematics.
For questions or more information about the report card, contact Mike Klocke, Community Relations Director at University of the Pacific: mklocke@pacific.edu or 209-946-3134.
