(2016). American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates for 2011-2015. <br /> <br />Young Children <br /> <br />In 2013, San Leandro Unified School District (SLUSD) participated in a survey of school readiness <br />sponsored by First 5 Alameda County and conducted by Applied Survey Research. San Leandro’s <br />kindergarteners were less likely than their peers in Alameda County to be ready for <br />kindergarten. While 45% of Alameda County kindergarteners were strong in all readiness domains <br />(self-care and motor skills, self-regulation, social expression, and kindergarten academics), just 35% <br />of San Leandro kindergarteners were strong in all domains in 2013. In San Leandro, and in the <br />county as a whole, attending a licensed center-based preschool was associated with higher levels of <br />school readiness – both for children in low-income families and in higher-income families. However, <br />only 50% of kindergarteners surveyed in SLUSD had attended preschool.
