LAUSD celebrates third year of academic growth, braces for a challenging school year

LAUSD has marked three consecutive years of academic improvement, a milestone celebrated by Superintendent Andrés Chait during his first opening-of-schools address at Garfield High School. This growth is significant as it follows years of challenges, including the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the progress is encouraging, the district is preparing for a challenging school year, likely with ongoing adjustments to support student recovery and continued advancement. The long-term implications of sustained academic growth could reshape LAUSD’s educational landscape and set a precedent for future school years.
