Exciting things are happening in the district like the intensive after school literacy program at Top of the World Elementary School. Taking effect this November, the program will focus on helping students identified as “struggling readers” through the implementation of an individualized after school program to give student’s addition help. Thanks to the Donegan Burns Foundation students will participate in the “Fast For Word” after school program four days a week for a total of twelve weeks.

The district is also offering a seven-week program Loving Solutions to educate parents with children ages 5-10 on individualized problem solving techniques for challenging behaviors. Parents will be interacting with other parents within the school district and developing skills to help their children succeed in school and at home. It is events and programs like these designed to help both students and parents succeed that set Laguna Beach Unified School District apart from others. They are also a top performing district in California with a collective API score of 904 – far surpassing the state benchmark of 800.
