HIGH SCHOOL OUTCOMES

With this presentation being for all of our school sites, some elementary, some K-8, middle schools and high schools, as well as Legacy (a 6-12 program) and Tustin Connect (our online school), we wanted to share data that highlights the culmination of our district’s efforts to produce outstanding outcomes for our students. TUSD regularly has one of the highest graduation rates and surpasses county and state averages. In addition, we have an extensive Career Technical Education (CTE) program that continues to grow in student enrollment and outcomes. You can see just three years ago we had 275 students earning a pathway cord, and last year it was up to 661. This is in things like engineering, Bio-Med, digital marketing, athletic training, and so many more. We also see that our college readiness rates continue to be strong and surpass county and state averages. Two highlights that continue to bring pride to our district is the level of rigorous coursework TUSD students take. AP tests administered grew for the third year in a row, and dual enrollment (which is students taking a college level course while they are with us) grew by over 1000 seats year to year. It is critical that we provide students with the opportunities and skills necessary for them to thrive well into the futures.
