SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT CARD |
|
|
|
AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY |
Data for 2004-2005 School Year |
|
Issued February 2006 |
|
|
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL The School Accountability Report Card is issued annually for each elementary and secondary school in the State of California and provides an assessment of selected conditions related to the school, its resources, its successes, and the areas in which improvements may be needed. As you read this Report Card for our school, I believe that a picture will emerge of a school dedicated to improvement, a qualified faculty that is professionally and personally committed to meeting the learning needs of students, and a student body which is motivated to perform well. Our school puts forth efforts to involve parents and community in our school and to keep them informed. This is done through meetings with various parent groups. As a parent or other interested person for whom this Report Card was designed, you may be interested in additional information regarding the Report Card or parent/community involvement. For such information, please call the school office. DEBRA WOLPOW HIRSCH, Principal |

IV. School Facilities |
School Facility
Conditions - General Information
The District takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe,
and functional within the available resources. The District has established
cleaning standards for all school facilities in assigning and inspecting
custodial work. A summary of these standards is available through the site
administrator. Food service and restroom facilities are given highest priority
on a daily basis to ensure the health and safety of students and staff. Other
cleaning functions may be scheduled on less than a daily frequency due to the
limitation of available custodial resources.
School Facility
Conditions - Results of Inspection and Evaluation
Data reported are the determination of good repair based on the most recent
Safe School Inspection. The assessment areas listed as “No” for
being in good repair have been determined to have deficiencies as described in
the Department of Education “Interim Evaluation Instrument”.
Deficiency details can be found at www.lausd-oehs.org under
“School Inspection Results”. Additional information about the
condition of the school facilities may be obtained from the school principal.

V. Academic Data |
Standardized
Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program,
students in grades 2 through 11 are tested annually in various subject areas.
Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests (CST) and a
norm-referenced test (NRT). The CST tests English-language arts and mathematics
in grades 2 through 11, science in grades 5, 9, 10, and 11 and history-social
science in grades 8, 10, and 11. Prior to 2005, the NRT tested reading/language
arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11, spelling in grades 2 through 8,
and science in grades 9 through 11. Beginning in 2005, the NRT tests
reading/language arts, spelling, and mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only, and no
longer tests science in any grade.
California
Standards Tests (CST)
The California Standards Tests (CST) show how well students are doing in
relation to the state content standards. Student scores are reported as
performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds state
standards), Proficient (meets state standards), Basic (apporaching state
standards), Below Basic (below state standards), and Far Below Basic (well
below state standards). Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level
meet state standards in that content area. Students with significant cognitive
disabilities who are unable to take the CST are tested using the California
Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). Detailed information regarding the CST
and CAPA results for each grade and proficiency level can be found at the
California Department of Education Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov
or by speaking with the school principal.
Note: To protect student privacy, asterisks
appear in any cell whenever 10 or fewer students had valid test scores.
CST - All Students
Data reported are
the percent of students achieving at the proficient or advanced level (meeting
or exceeding the state standard).

Norm-Referenced Test
(NRT)
Reading and mathematics results from the California Achievement Test, Sixth
Edition (CAT-6), the current NRT adopted by the State Board of Education, are
reported for each grade level as the percent of tested students scoring at or
above the 50th percentile (the national average). School results are compared
to results at the district and state levels. Beginning in 2005, the NRT tests
reading/language arts, spelling, and mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only and no
longer tests science in any grade. Detailed information regarding results for
each grade level can be found at the California Department of Education Web
site at http://star.cde.ca.gov/ or by
speaking with the school principal.
Note: To protect student privacy, scores
are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.
