What this document actually says
This document presents results from the 2025-26 Youth Truth surveys completed by students, families, and staff across Reed Union School District's three schools (Reed Elementary, Bel Aire Elementary, and Del Mar Middle). Participation was high: 97% of Bel Aire students, 96% of Del Mar students, and 38-61% of families responded. The surveys measured engagement, academic challenge, relationships, culture, and communication. Results show concerning declines at some schools, particularly Bel Aire (engagement down 36% for families, 28% for staff) and Del Mar (student engagement down 23%, academic challenge down 26%). Each school developed specific action plans targeting their lowest-performing areas, including academic challenge strategies, improved family communication, professional development for staff, and social-emotional learning programs for 2026-27.
What this means for your family
Each school is taking specific steps based on survey feedback. Reed will hold quarterly principal chats and improve communication about student progress. Bel Aire is adding student jobs, buddy lunches, and new SEL curriculum focused on belonging. Del Mar will conduct student focus groups and work with a new school counselor on wellness programs. Schools are addressing concerns about academic challenge, communication, and student engagement that families and students identified.
