At the end of the 2020-2021 school year, LCUSD administered standardized assessments (Illuminate) to measure student learning and progress. At the start of the 2021-2022 school year, diagnostic assessments were administered to measure learning loss and design a plan to address student needs upon their return to school. Each principal designed a targeted Responsive Teaching Plan to address student needs. Parents and the community can access those plans here.
