New San Diego Unified School District data show that 1,000 more high school students failed at least one class this fall compared with a year earlier.
About 26 percent of high school students failed at least one class at the end of the first quarter this school year, compared with 21 percent around the same time last school year, district data show.
The new data, which came to light from a public record request by a parent watchdog group, adds another layer to some grade information that SDUSD Superintendent Cindy Marten announced at a recent school board meeting.
Marten said that fewer high school students are failing or are at risk of failing meaning they received at least one D or F grade than at the same time last school year. Marten said 40 percent of high school students received at least one D or F, down from 47 percent a year earlier.
