Preliminary numbers for the fall semester indicate the number of SUSD students failing at least one class has more than doubled over last year. Superintendent Manny Valenzuela said they evaluated grades of middle and high school students and found that 28 percent are failing at least one class now. Last year at this time, it was 13 percent. Final numbers won't be available until early January, but failing grades are growing across the state and country.Â
