Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[10]

Noteworthy events

2014: District named in student exercise lawsuit

Chula Vista Elementary School District, along with 36 other schools across the state and three within San Diego County, were named in a lawsuit alleging the district's students were not getting enough exercise. As of 2014, the state required that schools give students in kindergarten through sixth grade 200 minutes of exercise every 10 days of class, in addition to lunch and recess.[11] The lawsuit was filed by Marc Babin and the nonprofit organization Cal200, which he led at the time of the lawsuit.[12]

The Chula Vista Elementary School District released the following statement on the lawsuit:[12]

Our district and 36 other school districts across the state of California were named in this lawsuit. The irony is that we were named San Diego County’s first Live Well, San Diego! School District. This is a distinction which was awarded to CVESD by the county health and human services agency (HHSA) in recognizing our commitment to improve the health and well-being of our students. Since childhood obesity came to the forefront many years ago, we have made great gains in improving student health and wellness in our physical education program.[13]

Babin, a parent and resident of Alameda, settled with the 37 school districts named in the lawsuit. The settlement required California elementary schools to prove they are providing children with at least the state-mandated minimum number of minutes of physical education. To do this, school districts will publicly document physical education minutes. San Francisco Superior Court Judge Mary Wiss approved the settlement in March 2015.[14][15]
