Academic performance
California's Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, which includes the California Standards Tests (CST), the California Modified Assessment (CMA) and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), measures the achievement of California content standards for grades 2-11. STAR results include English and mathematics in grades 2-11, science in grades 5 and 8-11 and history/social science in grades 8, 10 and 11. In high school, math and science tests reflect the course in which the student is enrolled. There are five STAR benchmarks to indicate a student's proficiency. "Proficient" or "Advanced" indicates that a student is meeting or exceeding state standards, which is the desired achievement goal for all students. The following table compares the percentage of district students who score at a "Proficient" or "Advanced" level with the statewide averages from the 2011-2012 school year.[10]

School shooting
A shooting at the district's North Park Elementary School on April 10, 2017, killed one student and one teacher and wounded a second student. The teacher's estranged husband fatally shot his wife in a special needs classroom before killing himself. The two children who were standing behind her were also shot, and one later died at a hospital from his injuries. Police said they did not believe the children had been targeted.[11]
