What this document actually says
This report presents results from the annual Youth Truth surveys completed by students (grades 3-8), families, and staff across all three RUSD schools in 2024-25. The surveys measure engagement, relationships, school culture, academic challenge, safety, and communication. Participation was high: 98% of students at Bel Aire, 96% at Del Mar, and strong family participation ranging from 35-56%. Key findings show significant improvements in family communication across all schools (up 14-34%), strong increases in DEI measures for staff, and areas needing attention including academic challenge at Bel Aire (dropped 25%), engagement with Asian families at Reed, and support for 8th graders at Del Mar. Each school identified specific next steps including enhanced communication strategies, professional development, and targeted outreach to underserved communities.
