Antioch Unified sees modest gains in ELA and science; math performance remains flat, district says
Summary
Preliminary 2025 CASP data released by the district showed small improvements in English language arts and science for several student groups, while math scores remain near pre-pandemic levels and a continuing concern for trustees and staff.
Antioch Unified School District presented preliminary 2025 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CASP) results at the board meeting, saying English language arts and science showed modest improvements at several grade levels and for some student groups, while math performance remained largely stagnant compared with 2019 pre‑pandemic levels.
District staff said English language arts rose by a few percentage points overall and highlighted improvements among African American, Filipino and economically disadvantaged student groups. Science results showed gains at various grades; math scores, however, remained a point of concern: the district reported limited movement in percentage meeting or exceeding math standards compared to earlier years.
Trustees directed staff to incorporate those trends when the district reviews its math curriculum and intervention plans. They also asked for clearer metrics for measuring program effectiveness and for more frequent updates so the board can monitor midyear progress rather than waiting for annual reports. Student trustees and principals also requested more access to college‑entry testing and better local SAT/AP supports for students who cannot travel or pay for repeated tests.
Next steps: District staff said they would provide additional analysis by school and subgroup, explore curriculum options for math, and provide a proposed cadence for periodic academic updates to the board.
