Principal Joe Ryan Dominguez attributed the rise in failing grades to “too many variables.”
Yea...I really think it is only one.
Now anyone wants to guess how they will "fix" this?
I would not be surprised if in a few months they announce that they are getting rid of the traditional A-F grading and going to use new "equitable" criteria to determine grades. When that happens I wouldn't be surprised if there are no D's and F's unless you happen to be a White Male.

America is turning into ..."Once upon a time...." We try very hard to fool ourselves. And when PISA scores come out so do all the excuses as to why those other countries scored higher than us. Nope..skill is never mentioned. Always "other" excuses.

"teachers fault" is a general excuse made in cases where people are not proponents of personal responsibility.
San Francisco’s Lowell High School, regarded as one of the best in the nation, is seeing a record spike in Ds and Fs among its first batch of students admitted in fall 2021 through a new lottery system instead of its decades-long merit-based admissions.
Nothing like traveling down the road to having a nation full of dunces.
