individual student handbooks. The administration and staff are committed
to student supervision and a consistent discipline program that includes
direct contact with parents and a positive working relationship with law
enforcement. |

Scott River High
School uses a point system for earning credits toward graduation. On a weekly
basis, teachers present students with their points earned. The top two point
earners receive an award at the end of each week. All students who have
earned the required amount of points for that week are eligible to attend a
field trip or a free barbecue at school. During graduation
ceremonies a number of awards are given to students. Students who have 95% or
better attendance for the school year receive an Attendance Award. Students
are recognized for earning 1,000 points during the school year by becoming a
member of the 1K Club. The Most Points Earned award is granted to the student
who earns the most points during the school year. Awards are also given to
students who have achieved the greatest growth or excelled in the areas of:
English, Math, Science, Art and Technology. If a student earns 100 or more
academic points in a week, they are taken to lunch. Adding to Scott
River High School’s unique environment, a number of awards are handed out
when a student has achieved or excelled beyond the requirements of the
district. for the next year. |
Multiple measures of
student achievement are used as an ongoing part of the quality instructional
program these reflect actual student progress as well as measure the
effectiveness of the instructional programs. Assessments are administered to
all grade levels throughout the year. Because fewer than 10 students per grade
level are tested, and in order to maintain confidentiality, scores for
necessary small schools are not disclosed.
District and State
testing times are carefully reviewed and scheduled to allow for maximum student
achievement and minimum disruption to the regular school day. During testing,
emphasis is made to ensure that each testing location is well-supervised,
comfortable, quiet and that each tester is well prepared and has adequate
materials in order to provide every student with the best possible testing
environment.
California
Standards Tests (CST)
The California Standards Tests (CST) shows 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 (approaching 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 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 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 Administrator. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.
Scott River High School participates in California’s mandatory Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR), from which the Academic Performance Index (API) for the school is created.

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. The CAT-6 was adopted in 2003; therefore, no
data are reported for 2002. 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.

*This API is calculated for a small school, defined a having between 11 and 99 valid STAR test scores. The API is asterisked if the school was small either in 2002 or 2003. APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and therefore should be interpreted with caution.
Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP)
The federal No Child
Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires that all students perform at or above the
proficient level on the state's standards-based assessments by 2014. In order
to achieve this goal and meet annual performance objectives, districts and
schools must improve each year according to set requirements. A "Yes"
in the following table displaying Overall AYP Status indicated that AYP was met
for all students and all subgroups, or that exception criteria were met, or
that an appeal of the school or district's AUP status was approved. Additional
data by subgroup show whether all groups of students in the school and district
made the annual measureable objectives for the percent proficient or above and
the participation rate required under AYP. Detailed information about AYP can
be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/ or
by speaking with the school principal.

Beginning with the graduating class of 2006, students in California public schools will have to pass the California High School Exit Exam to receive a high school diploma. The School Accountability Report Card for that year will report the percentage of students completing grade 12 who successfully complete the California High School Exit Exam.
Dropout Rate and
Graduation Rate
Data reported regarding progress toward reducing dropout rates over the most recent three-year period include: grade 9-12 enrollment, the number of dropouts, and the one-year dropout rate as reported by CBEDS. The formula for the one-year dropout rate is (Grades 9-12 Dropouts divided by Grades 9-12 Enrollment) multiplied by 100. The graduation rate, required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), is calculated by dividing the number of high school graduates by the sum of dropouts for grades 9 through 12, in consecutive years, plus the number of graduates.

Core Academic Courses Not Taught by NCLB
Compliant Teachers
The No Child Left
Behind Act (NCLB) requires that all teachers teaching in core academic
subjects are to be "highly qualified" not later than the end of the
2005-06 school year. In general, NCLB requires that each teacher must have: (1)
a bachelor's degree, (2) a state credential or an Intern Certificate/Credential
for no more than three years, and (3) demonstrated subject matter competence
for each core subject to be taught by the teacher. More information on teacher
qualifications required under NCLB can be found at the California Department of
Education's Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/nclb/sr/tq/.
For a school, the data reported are the percent of a school's classes in core
content areas not taught by NCLB compliant teachers. For a district, the data
reported are the percent of all classes in core content areas not taught by
NCLB compliant teachers in all schools in the district, in high-poverty schools
in the district, and in low-poverty schools in the district.

Evaluation
|
The teacher
evaluation process promotes quality instruction and is a fundamental element
in a sound educational program. Evaluations and formal observations are
designed to encourage common goals and to comply with the state’s evaluation
criteria and district policies. Temporary and probationary teachers are
evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every other year.
Evaluations are conducted by the Superintendent. Professional
development is an ongoing focus at the school; teachers continue to learn and
improve, just as students do. Staff members build teaching skill by
participating in many conferences, courses and workshops throughout the year
and then sharing their experiences and knowledge with their colleagues. The
district offered three staff development days. Staff development topics
included:
|
|
Due to the individualized nature of instruction at Scott River High School, substitutes must be carefully chosen. A group of qualified, credentialed substitutes have been recruited. When they are unavailable, it may be necessary for the principal or other staff to share the responsibilities of substitute teaching. |
