The Kern County Superintendent of Schools released information Tuesday regarding the decline in students’ academic achievement during the fall 2020 semester.

The aggregate data — which covers the Kern High School District, Bakersfield City School District and the Panama Buena-Vista Union School District — shows a 14% increase in the number of students with failing grades than the previous fall semester.

In the 2019 fall semester, 7% of students received F’s, but in the 2020 fall semester, that number jumped to 18%, the data reveals.
