Thousands of Tucson students are failing classes while dealing with remote learning and the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Tucson Unified, with more than 42,000 children, there is an “alarming rate of F’s” especially in middle and high schools, said TUSD Superintendent Gabriel Trujillo. As the first semester of the 2020-21 school year comes to an end, the number of F’s is up by nearly 50% over last year in TUSD secondary grades, from about 6,400 failing grades last year to nearly 9,600 now.
