District earns “Standard Met” across all categories, with strong survey responses from families, staff and students.
REDLANDS, Calif. — Redlands Unified School District performed well in its annual local indicators report, meeting all five of the state’s benchmarks and earning positive reviews from staff, parents and students, according to a presentation shared during the June 24 school board meeting.
Why it matters: Local indicators data, which is a California School Dashboard state requirement, provides a look into school life outside of test scores. This includes the quality of instructional materials, school climate and parent engagement.
Details: Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Patti Buchmiller walked the board through the 2024-2025 school year’s local indicator results.
The district received a “Standard Met” rating across all five required categories which include basic services, implementation of academic standards, parent engagement, school climate and access to a broad course of study.
Surveys of staff, students and parents formed the backbone of the report. Among the highlights, Buchmiller noted that all students have access to appropriate learning materials, teachers are properly assigned and facilities are in good repair. Staff surveys indicated strong implementation of English, math and English Language Development standards, although history and science trailed slightly behind.
A parent engagement survey completed by more than 1,600 families showed generally positive views, particularly around school communication and a welcoming atmosphere. Still, some families expressed a desire for better communication, more extracurricular opportunities and stronger responses to bullying.
In March, over 7,000 students in grades 3–12 took a school climate survey. Most students reported feeling physically safe and supported at school, though some student groups expressed lower satisfaction in areas like peer respect and bullying prevention.
Moving forward: Now that the data is collected, Buchmiller shared that the next step is to analyze the results and current programs to find room for improvement. This includes planning professional development, setting goals with principals and working with community partners.
