HUNTINGTON BEACH Huntington Beach is a seaside city within Orange County in Southern California. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west, and has been long known for its long 8.5 miles of beautiful beach, mild climate, and excellent surfing, earning it the nickname of Surf City. Surf, sand, sun and subtle sophistication encapsulate what the City of Huntington Beach is all about. The California lifestyle is synonymous with Huntington Beach. Dean Torrence, from the 1960’s pop group Jan and Dean, who co-authored the famous number one hit “Surf City,” said that Huntington Beach embodies the song’s spirit of freedom and California fun. The city is also mentioned in the Beach Boys song “Surfin’ Safari” and in “Surfer Joe” by the Surfaris. Ocean swells, endless sunshine and a fleet of bobbing longboards have played an instrumental role in earning the city its well-deserved “Surf City” nickname. Nothing epitomizes the California surf culture more than HB. Boasting some of California’s widest, cleanest, and safest beaches, the unofficial dress code has become a mix of wetsuits, bikinis and sandals accessorized by volleyballs, surf boards and beach towels. Named the "Best City to Live in Orange County" by the Orange County Register readers, Huntington Beach offers residents a charming community with ideal weather, a diversified economy overflowing with good jobs, a wide variety of housing, an excellent educational system, boat marinas, numerous parks, and exemplary health care. The City of Huntington Beach is located along the Southern California coast in Orange County, 35 miles south of Los Angeles and 90 miles north of San Diego. Named for railroad magnate Henry Huntington who orchestrated its development, the city is now an epicenter of activity and entertainment with wide, sandy beaches. History The area of Huntington Beach was originally occupied by the Tongva people, also known as Gabrielinos, whose lands stretched from what is now Topanga Canyon through Aliso Creek in Laguna Beach. European settlement can be traced to Spanish soldier, Manuel Nieto, who in 1784 received a Spanish land grant of 300,000 acres, which he named Rancho Los Nietos, as a reward for his military service. The Stearns Rancho Company ran cattle and horses and raised barley crops on what is now the city of HB. In the early 1800’s a portion of property was sold to Col. Robert Northam, who raised and sold barley to surrounding ranchers. By 1889, the city was called Shell Beach and consisted of a small group of settlers. In 1901, Shell Beach was changed to Pacific City when P.A. Stanton formed a local syndicate and purchased 40 acres along the beach with 20 acres on each side of Main Street. Stanton’s dream was to build a town on the Pacific Coast which would rival Atlantic City on the East Coast. Huntington Beach incorporated in 1909 under its first mayor, Ed Manning. Its original developer was the Huntington Beach Company, a real-estate development firm owned by Henry Huntington, a railroad magnate after whom the city is named. The Huntington Company is still a major land-owner in the city. Huntington Beach remained a sleepy seaside town until the famous oil boom in the 1920’s. The initial growth of the city began with the oil boom in 1920. This was the largest California oil deposit known at the time. Wells sprang up overnight and in less than a month the town grew from 1,500 to 5,000 people. After a final oil strike in 1953, the fire department began clearing out oil derricks within the city and along the coast to make room for the population explosion that began in the 1950’s. Beginning in the late 1950’s and continuing into the 1960’s and 1970’s, residents by the thousands moved into the City. Huntington Beach became the fastest growing city in the continental U.S. as housing tract after housing tract This information is provided solely as a courtesy by California Title Company.

In the 1970’s and 1980’s oil production rigs were concealed to improve the beach’s image. Forty years ago, Donald Douglas Jr. acquired the bean fields across from the current U.S. Weapons Station bordering Bolsa Chica in HB. He began building the Douglas Aircraft Space Systems Center. The plant produced the upper stage of the Saturn V rocket that took the Apollo astronauts on their successful mission to the moon. Douglas aircraft became McDonnell Douglas, and in the 1990’s Boeing purchased the combined firms. Today Boeing is one of the largest employers in HB. In 1925, Duke Kahanamoku brought the sport of surfing to Huntington Beach and the Southern California shores. The city’s first surf shop, Gordie’s Surf Boards, opened in 1953. Six years later, the first U.S. Surfing Championships were held in Huntington Beach. The following year, the Surfing Championships were covered on television, which rocketed Huntington Beach’s international fame as a surfer’s paradise. In 2005, the USA Surf Team adopted Huntington Beach as its official home and the Association of Surfing Professionals-North America moved to the city. Housing The City of Huntington Beach offers residents a diverse range of high quality residential options. The City offers everything from one-of-a-kind waterfront homes with private boat slips to neighborhoods of single-family residences on tree-lined streets to multi-family rental units. According to the 2005 American Community Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 73,665 housing units in Huntington Beach. In 2005, there were 44,005 owner-occupied housing units and 27,648 renter-occupied housing units. The median value of owner-occupied units was $711,000 and the median gross rent for renter-occupied units is $1,362. About 60 percent of the total housing units were built after 1970. Climate The climate is generally sunny, dry and cool, although evenings can be damp due to the ocean breeze. Prevailing westerly and southwesterly winds off the Pacific Ocean help maintain pleasant, smog-free weather year round with temperatures ranging mostly from 65° to 80° Fahrenheit. The mean annual humidity is 64.7%. In the morning and evening, there are strong breezes, about 15 mph. In the summer, temperatures rarely exceed 85 degrees. In the winter, temperatures rarely fall below 40 degrees, even on clear nights. Annual rainfall is less than 12 inches, with a majority of the rain falling between December and March. Frost occurs only rarely on the coldest winter nights. Ocean temperatures average 55 to 65 degrees. Economy Tourism and technology are the leading industries in Huntington Beach today. Home to more than 650 industrial businesses, including Boeing, Quicksilver, Cambro Manufacturing, and C & D Aerospace. Huntington Beach boasts a diversified and dynamic economy. Huntington Beach contains a major installment of one of the state’s largest employers, Boeing, formerly McDonnell-Douglas. A number of installments on the Boeing campus were originally constructed to service the Apollo Program, most notably the production of the S-IVB upper stage for the Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets, and some nearby telephone poles are still marked “Apollo Dedicated Mission Control Line.” The second largest employer in Huntington Beach, clothing manufacturer Quicksilver, also has its world-wide corporate headquarters within the city.

Tourism Due to its abundance of beaches; sunny, warm mediterranean climate; local surfing; and casual lifestyle, Huntington Beach has emerged as a perfect vacation experience for both young and old. With miles of uninterrupted, pristine beaches along the Pacific Ocean, ideal weather, a welcoming attitude, and a wide variety of entertainment options, Huntington Beach plays host to an annual visitor population of more than 11 million people, with the greatest attendance during summer, special events, and weekends. Boasting a comfortable climate throughout the year with a temperature that rarely gets above 90 degrees and seldom sees rainfall, visitors can take part in the many outdoor activities and special events Huntington Beach offers. Beyond the beach, the City of Huntington Beach boasts top-class restaurants, shopping, hotels, resorts, spas and a thriving downtown district. The downtown district includes an active art center, an eclectic shopping district, and the International Surfing Museum. Downtown was also once the home of the famous music club “The Golden Bear,” which hosted the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Sinatra. Visitors can also find the Surfing Hall of Fame and the Surfing Walk of Fame downtown. The city is centrally located to all major attractions in Orange County. In Anaheim, tourists can visit the Disney Resorts, Honda Center, home of the Anaheim Ducks hockey team, and Angels Stadium, home to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball team. In Long Beach, tourists can visit the historic Queen Mary and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Sea World and the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park are located in San Diego. Los Angeles is located 35 miles to the northwest and San Diego is 95 miles to the southeast. Huntington Beach is also conveniently located near three airports: John Wayne/Orange County (SNA), Long Beach (LGB), and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Natural Resources Huntington Beach considers its beaches as a valuable natural resource. Construction of any kind on the beach is prohibited without a vote of the people, allowing Huntington Beach to retain its natural tie to the ocean. Huntington Beach sits above a large natural salt dome containing oil. Although the oil is mostly depleted, extraction continues at a slow rate, and still provides significant local income. There are only two off-shore extraction facilities left, however, and the day is not far off when oil production in the city will cease and tourism will replace it as the primary revenue source for resident industry. Parks & Recreation Every year, millions of visitors and residents experience the finest of recreation in Huntington Beach. Perhaps nowhere else in the world can one experience such a multitude of diverse recreational activities within such a small geographical area: beach, harbor, wetlands, parks, equestrian center, public pier, nature center, a sports complex and more! Nicknamed "Surf City" for its beautiful wide beaches and consistently breaking surf, Huntington Beach residents enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities. Surfing, sailing, volleyball on the beach, fishing, tennis, golf, and many city recreation programs are available for all ages. Our community features one of the largest recreational piers in the world, public parks, riding stables and equestrian trails, a marina, a wildlife preserve, and an eight-mile biking, inline skating, jogging, and walking trail along the ocean. The crown jewel of the recreation system is the 8.5 miles of wide, spacious beaches where in the summer, large crowds gather to watch the U.S Open of Surfing, AVP Pro Beach Volleyball, Hello Kitty Boardfest and other sporting events.

Beaches Operated by the city, Huntington City Beach is one of the best beaches on the west coast, extremely popular with surfers. Home to the longest recreational pier in the state, the landmark HB Pier is located at the heart of Downtown. Originally built in 1904 and rebuilt most recently during the early 1990’s, it is the longest concrete municipal pier in CA. Stretching 1,856 feet into the Pacific Ocean, it is a favorite spot for fisherman, families and romantics who flock here daily to enjoy the “million-dollar” sunsets. For more than a century, the Pier has been an iconic coastal symbol. Surfers can always been seen from the Pier since surfing still remains one of the most popular activities at Huntington City Beach. The waves here have a unique natural effect caused by edge-diffraction of ocean swells by the island of Catalina. Because of the curve of the coastline at Huntington Beach, the beach actually faces southwest. This beach is also very popular for kite surfing. Throughout the year, numerous activities are held on the beach including surf and other sport competitions and community events. Dog Beach is a part of Huntington City Beach. This area of the beach is dog-friendly and a paradise for dog owners. It is not unusual to see a dog and his owner tandem surfing. The northern and southern beaches, Bolsa Chica State Beach and Huntington State Beach, respectively, are state parks. Only the central beach, Huntington City Beach, is maintained by the city. The Bolsa Chica State Beach is located across Pacific Coast Highway from the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. Bolsa Chica’s surf is mellow and rolling with consistently ride-able waves, making it a perfect place for beginners. Huntington State Beach is very popular with families. More than 600 fire rings are available on the city and state beaches for nightly bonfires, a favorite activity among Huntington Beach locals. Central Park Central Park is one of the largest city parks in Southern California and home to many of the city’s major attractions and a pair of inviting restaurants. Boasting an expansive 354 acres punctuated with mature trees, rolling lawns and placid lakes, Central Park is the region’s largest and most diverse greenbelts. The park is vegetated with native plants and wildlife. Thick forests encircling the park are supplemented with Australian trees, particularly eucalyptus. The Huntington Beach Central Library and Cultural Center is located in Central Park, which houses almost a half-million volumes, as well as a theater, gift shop and fountains. The park is also home to the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center, a top class boarding facility that offers horse rentals to the public, with 25 acres of public bridle trails, guided trail rides, and a riding school. The world’s second oldest disc (Frisbee) golf course is available in the park as well and has been touted as the most beautiful course of its kind in Southern California. The Sports Complex, which provides 45-acres of recreation including eight softball fields overlaid with an equal number of soccer and seven batting cages, is another popular feature of Central Park. Adventure Playground for kids, the Huntington Beach Playhouse, and the Donald D. Shipley Nature Center, an 18-acre forest that for the past 25 years has remained a wild and natural area for native wildlife, can all be found within Central Park. Huntington Harbour Huntington Harbour offers serenity, abundant wildlife and calm waters. The Harbour is comprised of five man-made islands bounded by a network of navigable channels and the land surrounding them. The Harbour is home to multimillion dollar homes and serves as a pleasure craft port. This area is very popular for sport fishing, private charters, electric boat rentals and kayaking. Huntington Harbour is also home to the Annual Cruise of Lights, a series of narrated evening cruises during the winter holidays when the area is decorated with festive decorations and elaborate lights.

A $110 million restoration of the wetlands was completed in 2006. The Bolsa Chica Wetlands contain numerous trails and scenic routes. The wetlands themselves have recently been connected with the ocean again, in an effort to maintain its previous, unaltered conditions. The Reserve is popular with bird watchers and photographers.

The Ecological Reserve also features an Interpretive Center for visitors. Special Events The City of Huntington Beach offers activities year-round to visitors and residents alike.

Student California Standards Test (CST) scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient Subject School District State (meets standards), Basic (approaching 2007 2008 2009 2007 2008 2009 2007 2008 2009 standards), Below Basic (below standards), and California Standards Test In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. Circle View Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Circle View Elementary School’s Resource Specialist Program (RSP) offers in-class assistance with support from Instructional Assistants, or supplemental instruction outside the regular classroom in a small group or individually, based upon the needs of the students. Students offer assistance in the “Buddy Program,” where older students work with younger students in special education classes. 1 Speech and Language Specialist 1.0 0.4 0.4 0.3 0.2 2.5 0.5 0.4 0.8 As Needed Full Time Equivalent To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades.

District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and highest priority to emergency repairs. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. Maintenance and Repair Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in September 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the beginning of each school year.

The library uses an automated tracking system and contains other materials such as, computers, videos, Spanish titles, and periodicals. Individual classroom libraries also contain an extensive collection of books and resources for students and teachers. Library Information All textbooks and instructional materials used within the district are aligned with the California Academic Content Standards and Frameworks and have been selected from the state’s most recent list of standardsbased materials. The district follows the State Board of Education’s six-year adoption cycle for core content materials. The table lists the textbooks currently (as of September 2009) in use. Ocean View School District sets a high priority upon ensuring that sufficient and current textbooks and materials are available to support each school’s instructional program. Ocean View School District held a Public Hearing on October 6, 2009, and determined that each school within the district has sufficient and good quality textbooks or instructional materials, pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are provided their own textbooks, instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home to complete required homework assignments. Instructional Materials National Assessment of Educational Progress National Assessment of Educational Progress NOTE: Only a sample group of California’s schools and districts participate in the NAEP testing cycle. Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. The second table displays the participation rates on the National Assessment of Educational Progress for reading (2007) and mathematics (2009) by students with disabilities and/or English language learners for grades four and eight. The first table displays the National Assessment of Educational Progress Results for reading (2007) and mathematics (2009) for grades four and eight by scale score and achievement level. Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress web page at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in Mathematics, Reading, Science, Writing, the Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, and U.S. History. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL) is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). Yes Yes Mathematics API School Results English Language Arts Yes School Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Met AYP Criteria Made AYP Overall National Assessment of Educational Progress There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff. Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their district) that have met their AYP standards, and the former school would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

For comparison purposes, the California Department of Education has provided average salary data from school districts throughout the state having over 5,000 Average Daily Attendance (ADA). School Site Teacher Salaries New teachers and teachers not yet fully credentialed are supported by peer coaching and extensive staff development through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program. This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Back-to-School Night, Open House, Author’s Day, and parent conferences. Parents are kept informed of school activities through the monthly “Circle View News” newsletter, teacher newsletters, PTO meetings, school website, NTI phone system, and district meetings. Circle View Elementary School is grateful for the many hours contributed by parent volunteers. School programs are further enriched by strong community partnerships with local vendors, businesses, and service organizations. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Circle View Elementary School. The PTO has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities. The PTO pays for a variety of programs including, a primary grade music teacher, Art Muses Program, assemblies, and field trips. Parent & Community Involvement As part of the growth process, opportunities for training and staff development are provided at both the district and individual school sites to administrators, teachers, and classified staff. The district offers six staff development days to accommodate professional growth opportunities in curriculum, teaching strategies, and methodologies.

Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and highest priority to emergency repairs. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. Maintenance and Repair The comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the district to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a school-wide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in Fall 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the beginning of the school year. During lunch, breaks, and before and after school, noon duty aides, the principal, and teachers supervise students and monitor the campus. 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 Assistive Behavioral Assistant Community Liaison Counselor Intern Health Clerk Library Specialist Nurse Psychologist Resource Specialist Program (RSP) Teacher RSP Aide Speech and Language Specialist 1.0 0.6 1.0 0.2 0.4 0.5 0.5 0.8 0.8 1.0 1.0 Full Time Equivalent Published: December 2009 At College View Elementary School, students in the GATE program receive instruction with increased depth and complexity by GATE-trained teachers. Students in the GATE program also have the option of attending the magnet program at Circle View Elementary School. Ocean View School District offers the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program to students in grades four through eight who have been recognized as capable of attaining high levels of achievement by their teachers and identified through testing programs. Gifted and Talented Education For students whose primary language is not English and who have limited English proficiency, Ocean View School District offers programs to help them acquire English as quickly as possible and prepare them to meet the state’s academic content standards. Students are identified as English Learners through the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). At College View Elementary School, students learning English receive 30 minutes of English Language Development daily and are placed with teachers who have supplemental credentials to provide instruction to English Learners. An English as a Second Language assistant provides small group instruction based on student needs, and two bilingual aides work in the classroom to assist students in accessing the core curriculum. English Language Learners College View Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Occupational Therapist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. College View Elementary School offers a Resource Specialist Program and Speech and Language Therapy for all grade levels. Individualized Instruction Using standards-based adopted textbooks and materials, teachers are able to adapt classroom instruction to meet students’ unique learning styles. When further assistance is needed for students to achieve grade level standards, several strategies are in place. At College View Elementary School, students are placed in a differentiated core reading program where they receive instruction according to their reading level. Kids in grades K-2 receive assistance from an Early Reading Intervention Specialist. Students well below grade level participate in the Title I Intervention Program (grades K-3) and Language! (grades 4-5). Support is also offered in extended instruction after school using the Soar to Success program (grades 1-5) four days a week. In the subject of mathematics we utilize small group instruction, individual tutoring, and standards-based software to help bring students to grade level. Fourth and fifth grade students may participate in an After-School Math Club. 2 1 Adaptive PE Specialist Number of Staff Counseling & Support Services Staff The chart lists support personnel available to students. * In 2008-09, 28.9 of fifth grade students at College View Elementary School met the standards in all six fitness areas. College View Elementary School There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff. Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their district) that have met their AYP standards, and the former school would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress * 63 61 59 2009 43 58 67 60 2007 54 68 69 63 2008 District 55 64 69 64 2009 33 38 40 43 2007 36 46 43 46 2008 State 41 50 46 50 2009 * * Migrant Education * 36 39 46 60 61 69 * 42 * 93 * * Mathematics Subgroups * * 29 52 66 60 65 * 56 * * * * Science * * * * * * * * * * * * * History/ Social Science 4 Graduation Rate API School Results Percent Proficient Participation Rate Met AYP Criteria Made AYP Overall Yes Yes English Language Arts N/A Yes No Yes Mathematics No School N/A Yes No Yes Published: December 2009 No Yes Mathematics No District English Language Arts Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) *Scores are not disclosed when fewer than 10 students are tested in a grade level and/or subgroup. 24 32 English Learners Students with Disabilities 63 43 Females 56 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Males 72 37 Hispanic or Latino Pacific Islander Caucasian * 80 Filipino Asian * * African American English/ Language Arts American Indian Subject California Standards Test (CST) *Scores are not disclosed when fewer than 10 students are tested in a grade level and/or subgroup. * 47 28 Science History/Social Science 49 2008 School 62 47 2007 California Standards Test (CST) 57 Mathematics English/Language Arts Subject In the spring of each year, College View Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in fifth grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the “healthy fitness zone” (HFZ). Physical Fitness The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent three-year period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades.

Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. The second table displays the participation rates on the National Assessment of Educational Progress for reading (2007) and mathematics (2009) by students with disabilities and/or English language learners for grades four and eight. The first table displays the National Assessment of Educational Progress Results for reading (2007) and mathematics (2009) for grades four and eight by scale score and achievement level. Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress web page at http://nces. ed.gov/nationsreportcard/. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in Mathematics, Reading, Science, Writing, the Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, and U.S. History. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL) is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). National Assessment of Educational Progress Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools. Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school). The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet. Academic Performance Index Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

The Parent Teacher Organization has generously supported field trips to venues such as San Juan Capistrano and the Long Beach Aquarium. The PTO also funds school assemblies. Golden View Elementary School further celebrates the good citizenship and achievements of students through recognition in the classroom and at Toad Hall Meetings. In a town hall setting, the principal recognizes and rewards outstanding accomplishments as well as discusses topics important to students. The Golden G, Polliwog, and Bookworm Book Club Reading Programs motivate students to read and reward them for their success through continuous awards and recognition. For each day a student is absent, $30 is taken from the district’s budget by the state. This chart illustrates the enrollment trend by grade level for the past three school years. To create a compassionate learning environment and encourage positive behavior, we have implemented character education tied in with the Golden Rules. Through the program, students learn about character traits such as Responsibility, Courtesy, Positive Attitude, and Respect, and are taught problem-solving techniques. Staff members distribute Golden Tickets to students who have been observed following the Golden Rules. Golden Tickets are placed in a weekly drawing for prizes from the Golden Rules treasure chest. Enrollment Trend by Grade Level Teachers and office staff proactively address attendance issues before they develop into further problems. In the case of chronic truancy, we contact the home with letters and telephone calls. In addition, students may be referred to the School Attendance and Review Board (SARB) for further intervention. All staff are committed to promoting the Golden Rules consistently schoolwide. Parents, along with students, teachers, and the school’s principal, sign a Home/School Compact in which each party agrees to understanding school rules, expectations, and their own personal role in contributing to the education of their child.

Safety Golden View Elementary School For students at risk of retention, a Monitor and Assistance Plan (MAP) is created in collaboration with the parent, student, and teacher. The plan outlines intervention strategies and the roles and responsibilities of each participant. The school and district employ qualified personnel to provide support services. An active Student Study Team (SST) meets frequently to address issues that affect the ability of a student to perform at his or her best in school. Using a collaborative approach, members of the SST evaluate and recommend various intervention strategies and services to meet the unique needs of the referred student. Counseling & Support Staff Parents who wish to volunteer or participate in Golden View Elementary School’s leadership teams, school committees, and school activities may call the school’s office at (714) 847-2516. Contact Information For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board did not approve any projects for this school. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. Maintenance and Repair The Comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the district to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a school-wide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in Fall 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the beginning of the school year. Golden View Elementary School is a closed campus. Signs posted throughout campus entry points direct visitors to check in with the front office. All visitors are required to register and to wear visitor badges during their stay. While visits by parents and community members are welcomed, anyone wishing to be on campus during school hours should notify staff ahead of time. During lunch, breaks, and before and after school, noon duty aides, the principal, and teachers supervise students and monitor the campus. 3 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 12 1 Campus Supervisor Counselor Health Clerk Library Specialist Nurse Psychologist Resource Specialist Program (RSP) Teacher RSP Aide Special Day Class (SDC) Teachers Special Education Aides Speech and Language Specialist 1.0 4.0 2.0 0.6 1.0 0.6 0.2 0.6 1.0 0.2 0.9 1.0 Full Time Equivalent Published: December 2009 Ocean View School District offers the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program to students in grades four through eight who have been recognized as capable of attaining high levels of achievement by their teachers and identified through testing programs. At Golden View Elementary School, students in the GATE program are clustered to receive instruction with increased depth and complexity by GATE-trained teachers.

GATE For students whose primary language is not English and who have limited English proficiency, Ocean View School District offers programs to help them acquire English as quickly as possible and prepare them to meet the state’s academic content standards. Students are identified as English Learners through the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). At Golden View Elementary School, students learning English receive English Language Development daily and are placed with teachers who have supplemental credentials to provide instruction to English Learners. Students in grades kindergarten through three use the English Now! textbooks and have 30 minutes of daily instruction in ELD and students in grade four through five use the High Point textbooks and daily receive 45 minutes of ELD instruction. English Language Learners Golden View Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Occupational Therapist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Golden View Elementary School offers a Resource Specialist program, two Special Day Classes (primary and upper grades), and speech/language therapy for all grade levels. Individualized Instruction Using standards-based adopted textbooks and materials, teachers are able to adapt classroom instruction to meet students’ unique learning styles. When further assistance is needed for students to achieve grade level standards, several strategies are in place. At Golden View Elementary School, support is offered through a daily pull-out program with a resource specialist.

No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent three-year period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star. cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure students abilities in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades.

The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the healthy fitness zone (HFZ). In 2008-09 school year, 37.2% of fifth grade students at Golden View Elementary School met the standards in all six fitness areas. Physical Fitness Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools. Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school). The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet. Academic Performance Index Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Back-to-School Night, Open House, Book Fair, Carnival, Literacy Picnic, Toad Hall meetings, fundraising auctions, and student performances. Parents are kept informed of school activities through monthly principal’s newsletters, teacher newsletters and websites, and the school website. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Golden View Elementary School. The PTO has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities, including supporting maintenance of our Student Environmental Learning Facility and Art Masters program.

Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the start of every school year. The Comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the district to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in September 2009. Harbour View Elementary School is a closed campus. Signs posted throughout campus entry points direct visitors to check in with the front office. All visitors are required to register and to wear visitor badges during their stay. While visits by parents and community members are welcomed, anyone wishing to be on campus during school hours should notify staff ahead of time. During lunch, breaks, and before and after school, noon duty aides, the principal, and teachers supervise students and monitor the campus. Safety Harbour View Elementary School provides a safe, clean environment for students, staff, and volunteers. Campus grounds encompass approximately 17.4 acres. Facilities include 40 permanent classrooms, six portable classrooms, a multi-purpose room (Pelican Hall), a Library Media Center, and administrative offices.

The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet. Academic Performance Index Data within the SARC was provided by Ocean View School District, retrieved from the 2008-09 SARC template, and/or located on Dataquest (http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest). Dataquest is a search engine, maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE), which allows the public to search for facts and figures pertaining to schools and districts throughout the state. Among the data available, parents and community members may find information about school performance, test scores, student demographics, staffing, and student misconduct/ intervention. Data Sources The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent threeyear period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria.

Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their district) that have met their AYP standards, and the former school would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments Adequate Yearly Progress In 2008-09, 70.2% of fifth grade students at Harbour View Elementary School met the standards in all six fitness areas. In the spring of each year, Harbour View Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in fifth grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the healthy fitness zone (HFZ). Physical Fitness Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Open House, Back-to-School Night, Grandparent’s Day, Talent Show, Spring Picnic, Literature Day, and student performances. Parents are kept informed of school activities through a monthly newsletter, the automatic telephone message system, the school’s marquee, and the school’s website. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Harbour View Elementary School. The PTA continues to make generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities, such as Walk Through the American Revolution, Pioneer Living, and California Gold Rush.

Using a collaborative approach, members of the SST evaluate and recommend various intervention strategies and services to meet the unique needs of the referred student. For students at-risk of retention, a Monitor and Assistance Plan (MAP) is created in collaboration with the parent, student, and teacher. The plan outlines intervention strategies and the roles and responsibilities of each participant. The chart lists the support services offered to students. Counseling & Support Staff For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board approved deferred maintenance projects for this school such as carpet and raingutter replacement. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and highest priority to emergency repairs. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. Maintenance and Repair Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in September 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the start of every school year. 3 Published: December 2009 The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades. Measures of Student Achievement Ocean View School District offers the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program to students in grades four through eight who have been recognized as capable of attaining high levels of achievement by their teachers and identified through testing programs. At Hope View Elementary School, students in the GATE program are clustered to receive instruction with increased depth and complexity by GATE-trained teachers. Students in the GATE program also have the option of attending the magnet program at Circle View Elementary School. GATE For students whose primary language is not English and who have limited English proficiency, Ocean View School District offers programs to help them acquire English as quickly as possible and prepare them to meet the state’s academic content standards. Students are identified as English Learners through the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). At Hope View Elementary School, a bilingual aide works with small groups in the classroom to help students access the core curriculum. English Language Learners Hope View Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child, will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Occupational Therapist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Hope View Elementary School offers a Resource Specialist Program and speech/language therapy for all grade levels. The resource specialist works with identified students in small groups for half hour and hourly sessions throughout the week. Individualized Instruction Using standards-based adopted textbooks and materials, teachers are able to adapt classroom instruction to meet students’ unique learning styles. When further assistance is needed for students to achieve grade level standards, several strategies are in place. At Hope View Elementary School, students are grouped by learning level to receive intensive reading instruction 90 minutes daily. Third, fourth and fifth grade students needing further support in literacy use the Language! program. Parent volunteers and students provide tutoring during the school day. 72 * Science History/Social Science 81 Females * 70 83 43 58 67 60 54 68 69 63 2008 District * Migrant Education * 74 59 64 80 85 84 * 63 * 94 * * Mathematics Subgroups * * * * 75 65 70 * * * * * * Science * * * * * * * * * * * * * History/ Social Science *Scores are not disclosed when fewer than 10 students are tested in a grade level and/or subgroup. 53 66 English Learners Students with Disabilities 73 83 84 Caucasian * Males 76 Hispanic or Latino Pacific Islander 84 * * English/ Language Arts California Standards Test (CST) * Socioeconomically Disadvantaged * 70 78 82 2007 55 33 38 40 69 64 43 2007 64 2009 36 46 43 46 2008 State 41 50 46 50 2009 Hope View Elementary School Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics.

Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments Adequate Yearly Progress Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

For comparison purposes, the California Department of Education has provided average salary data from school districts throughout the state having over 5,000 Average Daily Attendance (ADA). School Site Teacher Salaries New teachers and teachers not yet fully credentialed are supported by peer coaching and extensive staff development through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program. This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Back-to-School Night, Open House, Carnival, Holiday House, Fine Arts Festival, and student performances. Parents are kept informed of school activities through teacher and principal newsletters. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Hope View Elementary School. The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities including the Meet the Masters art appreciation program. Hope View Elementary School is grateful for the many hours contributed by our parent volunteers. The school’s programs are further enriched by strong community partnerships. Community Involvement As part of the growth process, opportunities for training and staff development are provided at both the district and individual school sites to administrators, teachers, and classified staff.

At Lake View Elementary School, students learning English receive 30 minutes of English Language Development daily and are placed with teachers who have supplemental credentials to provide instruction to English Learners. English Language Learners Lake View Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Lake View Elementary School also offers two special classes for severely handicapped students and two classes for students with learning disabilities. Individualized Instruction Using standards-based adopted textbooks and materials, teachers are able to adapt classroom instruction to meet students’ unique learning styles.

For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades.

Federal Intervention Program In 2008-09, 28.1% of fifth grade students at Lake View Elementary School met the standards in all six fitness areas. In the spring of each year, Lake View Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in fifth grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the “healthy fitness zone” (HFZ). Physical Fitness Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools. Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school). The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California.

Lake View also has partnerships with Surf City, Kiwanis Club and North Huntington Futbol Club. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Parent Education Night, Back-toSchool Night, Open House, fundraiser assemblies, NASA Explorer events, community events, and award ceremonies. Parents are kept informed of school activities through newsletters, flyers, the school’s website, the phone committee, and the school marquee. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Lake View Elementary School. The PTO has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities. We are grateful for the many hours contributed by our parent volunteers. The PTO purchased smartboards and new playground equipment for the school. Community Involvement New teachers and teachers not yet fully credentialed are supported by peer coaching and extensive staff development through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program. This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers As part of the growth process, opportunities for training and staff development are provided at both the district and individual school sites to administrators, teachers, and classified staff. The district offers six staff development days to accommodate professional growth opportunities in curriculum, teaching strategies, and methodologies.

Contact Information In the spring of each year, Marine View Middle School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in seventh grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the healthy fitness zone (HFZ). In 200809, 44.5% of seventh grade students at Marine View Middle School met the standards in all six fitness areas. Physical Fitness The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent threeyear period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments four times a year -- at the start of the school year and at the end of each trimester. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/ Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades. Measures of Student Achievement Ocean View School District offers a strong Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)/Honors program at all grade levels for students who have been identified by their teachers and through testing programs. Students in the GATE program have the option of attending the magnet program at Mesa View Middle School. For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board approved deferred maintenance projects for this school that will result in replacing/ repairing the roof, raingutters, and carpet. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. Counseling & Support Staff GATE Deferred Maintenance Projects Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order.

While reviewing this report, please note that even minor discrepancies are reported in the inspection process. The items noted in the table have been corrected or are in the process of remediation. The Comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the District to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in September 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, were reviewed with the school staff. This information is provided solely as a courtesy by California Title Company.

Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools. Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school). The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California.

Academic Performance Index In the spring of each year, Mesa View Middle School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in seventh grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the healthy fitness zone (HFZ). In 2008-09, 58.8% of seventh grade students at Mesa View Middle School met the standards in all six fitness areas. Physical Fitness The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent threeyear period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. California Standards Test (CST) In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each at-risk child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades.

Assessments are conducted periodically in Mathematics, Reading, Science, Writing, the Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, and U.S. History. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL) is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). No Yes Mathematics API School Results English Language Arts No School Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Met AYP Criteria Made AYP Overall National Assessment of Educational Progress There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff. Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their district) that have met their AYP standards, and the former school would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP Federal Intervention Program Mathematics 6th-8th 6th-8th 6th-8th Social Science Science Language Arts 8th 6th-8th Foreign Language 6th-8th Glencoe / McGraw Hill 2007 2008 2003 2009 Holt McDougal Pearson/ Prentice Hall 2008 Pearson/ Prentice Hall 2008 2003 Adoption Year Holt, Rinehart, & Winston Sopris West Hampton Brown Publisher District-Adopted Textbooks English Language Development Subject English Language Development 6th-8th Grade Levels Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Sufficient 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% % Lacking 0 0 0 0 07-08 0 0 0 0 08-09 0 0 0 0 09-10 Mesa View Middle School 6 32 Classrooms connected to Internet 0 0 27 07-08 School 0 0 30 0 3 440 08-09 District 28 4.2 179 08-09 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% District High-Poverty Schools in District Low-Poverty Schools in District 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% % of Core Academic Courses Taught By Non-NCLB Compliant Teachers Published: December 2009 100.0% School % of Core Academic Courses Taught By NCLB Compliant Teachers NCLB Compliant Teachers As part of the growth process, opportunities for training and staff development are provided at both the district and individual school sites to administrators, teachers, and classified staff.

Highly Qualified Teachers Vacant Teacher Positions Total Misassignments of Teachers Misassignments of Teachers (other) Misassignments of Teachers of English Learners Misassignments/Vacancies Teacher misassignments reflect the number of placements within a school for which the certificated employee in the teaching or services position (including positions that involve teaching English learners) does not hold a legally recognized certificate or credential. Teacher vacancies reflect the number of positions to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of the year for an entire year. For the 2008-09 school year, Mesa View Middle School had 30 fully credentialed teachers in accordance with State of California guidelines. Teacher Assignment The district is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology to all students. Teachers integrate technology into classroom curriculum, following the OVSD Student Technology Standards which are aligned to the National Educational Technology Standards. At Mesa View Middle School, the exploratory class at each grade level continuously builds skills in keyboarding, publishing, and presenting. Teachers use standards-aligned software such as Inspiration, CornerStone, and Microsoft Office to extend and enhance student learning. Additional technology tools available to teachers to support classroom instruction include LCD projectors, computer mini labs, TV/VCR carts, SMART Boards, and wireless laptop computers. Computer Resources Mesa View Middle School’s library, open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:40 p.m., contains a wide assortment of books, periodicals, and reference materials available to students and staff. The library contains Internet-connected computers so that students may conduct research and access resources online. For additional research materials and Internet availability, students are encouraged to visit the public libraries located in the city of Huntington Beach and surrounding areas, which contain numerous computer workstations Library Information Ocean View School District sets a high priority upon ensuring that sufficient and current textbooks and materials are available to support each school’s instructional program. Ocean View School District held a Public Hearing on October 6, 2009, and determined that each school within the district has sufficient and good quality textbooks or instructional materials, pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are provided their own textbooks, instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home to complete required homework assignments. All textbooks and instructional materials used within the district are aligned with the California Academic Content Standards and Frameworks and have been selected from the state’s most recent list of standards-based materials. The district follows the State Board of Education’s eightyear adoption cycle for core content materials. The table lists the textbooks currently (as of September 2009) in use.

For comparison purposes, the California Department of Education has provided average salary data from school districts throughout the state having over 5,000 Average Daily Attendance (ADA). School Site Teacher Salaries Data within the SARC was provided by Ocean View School District, retrieved from the 2008-09 SARC template, and/or located on Dataquest (http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest). Dataquest is a search engine, maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE), which allows the public to search for facts and figures pertaining to schools and districts throughout the state. Among the data available, parents and community members may find information about school performance, test scores, student demographics, staffing, and student misconduct/ intervention. Data Sources New teachers and teachers not yet fully credentialed are supported by peer coaching and extensive staff development through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program. This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Mesa View Middle School. The Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO) has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities including fundraising, technology, field trips, the student store, and the lunchtime game room. Mesa View Middle School is grateful for the many hours contributed by parent volunteers. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Parent Education Nights, GATE Parent Meetings, fine arts performances, and athletic events. Parents are kept informed of school activities through a trimester newsletter, flyers, the marquee, automated phone system, and the school’s website.

Contact Information For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board did not approve any deferred maintenance projects for this school. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. Maintenance and Repair The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated September 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the beginning of each school year. 3 30 * Science History/Social Science * 36 62 * The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state.

Dataquest is a search engine, maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE), which allows the public to search for facts and figures pertaining to schools and districts throughout the state. Among the data available, parents and community members may find information about school performance, test scores, student demographics, staffing, and student misconduct/intervention. Data Sources NOTE: Only a sample group of California’s schools and districts participate in the NAEP testing cycle. Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. The second table displays the participation rates on the National Assessment of Educational Progress for reading (2007) and mathematics (2009) by students with disabilities and/or English language learners for grades four and eight. The first table displays the National Assessment of Educational Progress Results for reading (2007) and mathematics (2009) for grades four and eight by scale score and achievement level. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL) is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress web page at http://nces. ed.gov/nationsreportcard/. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in Mathematics, Reading, Science, Writing, the Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, and U.S. History. National Assessment of Educational Progress No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments School District in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments Made AYP Overall No No in ELA and Mathematics. English English • API as an additional indicator. Met AYP Criteria Language Mathematics Language Mathematics • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). Arts Arts There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the Participation Rate Yes Yes Yes Yes AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff. Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their Percent Proficient No Yes No No district) that have met their AYP standards, and the former school API School Results Yes Yes would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Graduation Rate N/A N/A Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. Adequate Yearly Progress Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

More information on teacher qualifications required under NCLB can be found at the CDE website at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ nclb/sr/tq/. Highly Qualified Teachers As part of the growth process, opportunities for training and staff development are provided at both the district and individual school sites to administrators, teachers, and classified staff. The district offers six staff development days annually to accommodate professional growth opportunities in curriculum, teaching strategies, and methodologies. Staff Development Teacher misassignments reflect the number of placements within a school for which the certificated employee in the teaching or services position (including positions that involve teaching English learners) does not hold a legally recognized certificate or credential. Teacher vacancies reflect the number of positions to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of the year for an entire year. For the 2008-09 school year, Oak View Elementary School had 40 fully credentialed teachers in accordance with State of California guidelines. Teacher Assignment For additional research materials and Internet availability, students are encouraged to visit the public libraries located in Orange County, which contain numerous computer workstations. For more information on hours and locations, please visit: http://www.ocpl.org/. Additional Internet Access/Public Libraries The District is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology to all students. Teachers integrate technology into classroom curriculum, following the OVSD Student Technology Standards which are aligned to the National Educational Technology Standards. Oak View Elementary School has a computer lab with 16 work stations. All classrooms have wireless internet. Oak View Elementary School is implementing ST computer math program for all second graders. Computer Resources In addition to text, reference, and leisure books (in both English and Spanish), the Library offers resources on video and audio tape, DVD and CD-ROM. It is fully automated and staffed by a library specialist and parent volunteers. For additional research materials and Internet availability, students are encouraged to visit the public libraries located in the city of Huntington Beach and surrounding areas, which contain numerous computer workstations. Library Information Ocean View School District sets a high priority upon ensuring that sufficient and current textbooks and materials are available to support each school’s instructional program. Ocean View School District held a Public Hearing on October 6, 2009, and determined that each school within the district has sufficient and good quality textbooks or instructional materials, pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are provided their own textbooks, instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home to complete required homework assignments. All textbooks and instructional materials used within the district are aligned with the California Academic Content Standards and Frameworks and have been selected from the state’s most recent list of standards-based materials. The district follows the State Board of Education’s six-year adoption cycle for core content materials. The table lists the textbooks currently (as of September 2009) in use.

For comparison purposes, the California Department of Education has provided average salary data from school districts throughout the state having over 5,000 Average Daily Attendance (ADA). School Site Teacher Salaries New teachers and teachers not yet fully credentialed are supported by peer coaching and extensive staff development through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program. This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Back-to-School Night, Open House, Parent-Teacher conferences, and adult education classes. Parents are kept informed of school activities through weekly and monthly newsletters, flyers, and the school’s website. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Oak View Elementary School. Our PTO has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities including the annual Cinco De Mayo Celebration. We are grateful for the many hours contributed by our parent volunteers. Our programs are further enriched by strong community partnerships with many local businesses and organizations, including the Huntington Beach Rotary Club, Fluor Daniel, Zonta Club of Newport Harbor, Huntinton Beach Public Library, Wells Fargo, and the Kiwanis Club.

Contact Information For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board approved deferred maintenance projects for this school that will result in improved carpet and raingutter replacement/repair and fire alarm repair. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. Maintenance and Repair The Comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the District to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in the Fall of 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the start of every school year. During lunch, breaks, and before and after school, noon supervisor aides, the principal, and teachers supervise students and monitor the campus. 3 1 Speech and Language Specialist 0.5 2.0 2.0 0.8 2.0 0.5 0.2 0.5 0.8 2.0 1.0 0.4 Full Time Equivalent Published: December 2009 Ocean View School District offers the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program to students in grades four through eight who have been recognized as capable of attaining high levels of achievement by their teachers and identified through testing programs.

The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet. Academic Performance Index Data within the SARC was provided by Ocean View School District, retrieved from the 2008-09 SARC template, and/or located on Dataquest (http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest). Dataquest is a search engine, maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE), which allows the public to search for facts and figures pertaining to schools and districts throughout the state. Among the data available, parents and community members may find information about school performance, test scores, student demographics, staffing, and student misconduct/intervention. Data Sources The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent three-year period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades.

Library Information Ocean View School District sets a high priority upon ensuring that sufficient and current textbooks and materials are available to support each school’s instructional program. Ocean View School District held a Public Hearing on October 6, 2009, and determined that each school within the district has sufficient and good quality textbooks or instructional materials, pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are provided their own textbooks, instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home to complete required homework assignments. All textbooks and instructional materials used within the district are aligned with the California Academic Content Standards and Frameworks and have been selected from the state’s most recent list of standards-based materials. The district follows the State Board of Education’s eight-year adoption cycle for core content materials. The table lists the textbooks currently (as of September 2009) in use.

Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments School District in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Adequate Yearly Progress In the spring of each year, Spring View Middle School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in seventh grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the healthy fitness zone (HFZ). In 2008-09, 63.5% of seventh grade students at Spring View Middle School met the standards in all six fitness areas. Physical Fitness Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

For comparison purposes, the California Department of Education has provided average salary data from school districts throughout the state having over 5,000 Average Daily Attendance (ADA). Average Teacher Salaries School Site Teacher Salaries New teachers and teachers not yet fully credentialed are supported by peer coaching and extensive staff development through the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA) program. This program utilizes the district’s most effective veteran and knowledgeable teachers who assist with staff development and participate in such exercises as classroom visits, one-on-one meetings, and student work reviews. A constructive evaluation process is a fundamental element in a sound educational program. Non-tenured teachers are evaluated annually and tenured teachers are evaluated every five years. Evaluations are performed by administrators who have been trained and certified for competency to perform teacher evaluations. Evaluation criteria are modeled after the Stull guidelines for teacher evaluations and include: maintenance of a suitable learning environment; attainment of standards of expected student progress; working staff relationships; professional qualities; instructional techniques and strategies; adherence to curricular objectives; and other duties relevant to the position. Teacher Evaluation Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring full-time teachers. About 35-40 percent of district substitutes are fully credentialed; all have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, have passed the California Basic Education Skills Test, and have a 30-day substitute permit. On the rare occasion when a substitute is not available, students receive instruction from a certificated teacher or school administrator. Substitute Teachers Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education through volunteering in the classroom, participating on organized committees, and attending schoolwide events such as Back-to-School Night, Open House, Parent Orientation, Parent Education Nights, fine arts performances, and athletic events. Students benefit from parents volunteering in the ALLY program (Advocating a Love of Literature in Youth) where parents read to students once a week. Parents are kept informed of school activities through bimonthly newsletters, an automatic telephone message system, and regular teacher correspondence. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Spring View Middle School. The PTSA has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities. Spring View Middle School is grateful for the many hours contributed by parent volunteers. School programs are further enriched by strong community partnerships, including organizations such as the Elks Club, Masonic Lodge, Wal-Mart, McDonald’s, Knott’s Berry Farm, Carl’s Jr., and Home Depot. Community Involvement As part of the growth process, opportunities for training and staff development are provided at both the district and individual school sites to administrators, teachers, and classified staff.

Class Size At the beginning of every school year, the students and teachers of each class draft and sign a class constitution containing specific rules of conduct based on the idea of STAR attributes. A “STAR” student exemplifies safety, teamwork, achievement, and respect. Students who best exemplify these characteristics are recognized at weekly Flag Assemblies in front of their parents and peers. Students are also recognized for their achievements at an Awards night for the following trimester awards: Distinguished Star, Academic Achievement, and Academic Effort. At Star View Elementary School, “going to the Principal’s office” is not always a bad thing! Each Wednesday students from every class share their “Star Quality” work with Principal Tressler. Each Monday students with a birthday during the week receive a birthday pencil from the principal.

District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. Maintenance and Repair The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule The Comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the district to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in September 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff annually. Star View Elementary School is a closed campus. Signs posted throughout campus entry points direct visitors to check in with the front office. All visitors are required to register and to wear visitor badges during their stay. While we welcome visits by parents and community members, anyone wishing to be on campus during school hours should notify staff ahead of time. During lunch, breaks, and before and after school, noon duty aides, the principal, and teachers supervise students and monitor the campus. Safety Star View Elementary School provides a safe, clean environment for students, staff, and volunteers.

Parents are constantly informed of school activities through weekly PTO newsletters, monthly school newsletters, classroom letters, and advisory committee meetings, as well as the school’s marquee, and website. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Star View Elementary School. The PTO has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs, activities, and equipment including the Art Masters Program, curriculum enrichment, field trips, computers, classroom sound systems, technology upgrades, and SMART Boards. This year the school benefited from over 20,000 volunteer hours. Star View Elementary Schools’ programs are further enriched by countless community partnerships. Community Involvement For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board approved deferred maintenance projects for this school that will result in termite treatment and replace wood rot, painting lunch bench roof, carpet replacement, and asphalt repair. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget.

GATE For students whose primary language is not English and who have limited English proficiency, Ocean View School District offers programs to help them acquire English as quickly as possible and prepare them to meet the state’s academic content standards. Students are identified as English Learners through the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). These students receive 30 minutes of English Language Development (ELD) daily and are placed with teachers who have supplemental credentials to provide instruction to English Learners. Students are also placed in flexible reading groups based on their ability. English Language Learners Star View Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Occupational Therapist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Star View Elementary School offers pull-out and in-class cluster programs designed to mainstream these students as much as possible. Individualized Instruction Using standards-based adopted textbooks and materials, teachers are able to adapt classroom instruction to meet students’ unique learning styles. When further assistance is needed for students to achieve grade level standards, several strategies are in place. Before and after-school literacy clubs assist students with English/Language Arts. For students at-risk of retention, a Monitor and Assistance Plan (MAP) is created in collaboration with the parent, student, and teacher. The plan outlines intervention strategies and the roles and responsibilities of each participant. The chart illustrates the list of support services offered at Star View Elementary School. 1 Special Day Class Aides 1 2 RSP Aide Speech and Language Specialist 1 Resource Specialist Program (RSP) Teacher Special Day Class Teacher 1 1 Psychologist 1 1 Counselor Intern Nurse 6 1 Campus Supervisor Adaptive PE Specialist Number of Staff Counseling & Support Services Staff Star View Elementary School makes every effort to meet the academic, emotional, and physical needs of students.

Federal Intervention Program Data within the SARC was provided by Ocean View School District, retrieved from the 2008-09 SARC template, and/or located on Dataquest (http://data1.cde.ca.gov/dataquest). Dataquest is a search engine, maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE), which allows the public to search for facts and figures pertaining to schools and districts throughout the state. Among the data available, parents and community members may find information about school performance, test scores, student demographics, staffing, and student misconduct/intervention. Data Sources In 2008-09, 45.8% of fifth grade students at Star View Elementary School met the standards in all six fitness areas. In the spring of each year, Star View Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in fifth grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the ‘healthy fitness zone’ (HFZ). Physical Fitness The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent three-year period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades. Measures of Student Achievement At Star View Elementary School, students in the GATE program are clustered to receive instruction with increased depth and complexity by GATEtrained teachers. Students in the GATE program also have the option of attending the magnet program at Circle View Elementary School. This information is provided solely as a courtesy by California Title Company.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in Mathematics, Reading, Science, Writing, the Arts, Civics, Economics, Geography, and U.S. History. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELL) is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). 8 2 Actual Growth 3 9 08-09 Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Actual Growth Actual Growth 3 Similar Schools Rank 9 07-08 All Students 8 06-07 API School Results Statewide Rank Made AYP Overall National Assessment of Educational Progress There are several consequences for schools that do not meet the AYP standards, including additional tutoring and replacing of staff. Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their district) that have met their AYP standards, and the former school would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools. Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school). The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet.

District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. Maintenance and Repair The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule The Comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the District to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in the Fall 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the start of every school year. Sun View Elementary School is a closed campus. Signs posted at all campus entry points direct visitors to check in with the front office. All visitors are required to register and to wear visitor badges during their stay. While visits by parents and community members are welcomed, anyone wishing to be on campus during school hours should notify staff ahead of time. During lunch, breaks, and before and after school, noon duty aides, the principal, and teachers supervise students and monitor the campus. Safety Sun View Elementary School provides a safe, clean environment for students, staff, and volunteers. School grounds encompass approximately 13.9 acres. Facilities include 23 permanent classrooms, six portable classrooms, a multi-purpose room, library, teachers’ lounge, administrative offices, a fitness course, grassy fields and blacktop play areas. School Facilities & Safety The writing and implementation of Ocean View School District’s curriculum is an ongoing process, designed to address continual instructional improvement and the implementation of state standards and associated adopted instructional materials.

Dataquest is a search engine, maintained by the California Department of Education (CDE), which allows the public to search for facts and figures pertaining to schools and districts throughout the state. Among the data available, parents and community members may find information about school performance, test scores, student demographics, staffing, and student misconduct/intervention. Data Sources In 2008-09, 32.2% of fifth grade students at Sun View Elementary School met the standards in all six fitness areas. In the spring of each year, Sun View Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in fifth grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the healthy fitness zone (HFZ). Physical Fitness The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent three-year period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades. English Language Learners The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Occupational Therapist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive P.E. Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Sun View Elementary School offers a Resource Specialist Program and speech/language therapy for all grade levels. Parents and the community are very supportive of the educational program at Sun View Elementary School. The PTO has made generous contributions of time and money to numerous programs and activities, including organizing Family Fun Day to foster community, paying for all student field trips and assemblies, promoting membership for the school, opening up the Professional Book Reading Room, and providing generous amounts of school necessities. Sun View is grateful for the many hours contributed by our parent volunteers. School programs are further enriched by strong community partnerships, including organizations such as Golden West and Orange Coast Colleges, University of California Irvine, National University, and California State University Long Beach.

Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools. Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school). 06-07 Social Science Science K-5 Mathematics K-5 Mathematics Language Arts English Language Development English Language Development Subject 4th-5th K-5 K-5 4th-5th 4th-5th Grade Levels 2009 2007 Harcourt School Publishers 2009 2009 2003 2008 2003 Adoption Year McGraw-Hill Houghton Mifflin Houghton Mifflin Houghton Mifflin Sopris West Hampton Brown Publisher District-Adopted Textbooks Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Sufficient 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% % Lacking 97 3.8 19 Computers Students per computer Classrooms connected to Internet 06-07 Computer Resources 18 3.3 107 07-08 18 2.7 124 08-09 0 0 0 Misassignments of Teachers (other) Total Misassignments of Teachers Vacant Teacher Positions 0 0 0 0 08-09 0 0 0 0 09-10 1 0 Without Full Credentials Working Outside Subject 0 0 15 07-08 School 0 1 16 08-09 0 3 440 08-09 District Ocean View School District employs qualified substitute teachers, including part-time teachers, retired teachers, and aspiring fulltime teachers.

School Facilities & Safety The writing and implementation of Ocean View School District’s curriculum is an ongoing process, designed to address continual instructional improvement and the implementation of state standards and associated adopted instructional materials. Under the leadership of the Deputy Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, the Instructional Advisory Network establishes the district’s long-range objectives and vision as well as oversees ten subject area Curriculum Committees. Curriculum Committee members, comprised of administrators, teacher representatives, and parents, analyze testing data to determine students’ progress in learning the standards, assess the effectiveness of district programs in meeting students’ learning needs, evaluate and recommend new programs for implementation, articulate curriculum among grade levels, and develop district assessments. 75 85 94 110 81 109 2007-08 Curriculum Development 98 76 4th 5th 99 95 110 98 2006-07 3rd 2nd 1st K Enrollment Trend by Grade Level This chart illustrates the enrollment trend by grade level for the past three school years. District Suspensions & Expulsions School In the case of chronic truancy, we contact the home with letters and telephone calls. In addition, students may be referred to the School Attendance and Review Board (SARB) for further intervention. For each day a student is absent, $30 is taken from the district’s budget by the state. The Suspensions and Expulsions table displays the percentage of incidents at the school and in the district. Suspension numbers may be inflated because some students may have been suspended multiple times. Expulsions occur only when required by law or when all other alternatives have been exhausted.

Published: November 2009 Ocean View School District offers the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program to students in grades four through eight who have been recognized as capable of attaining high levels of achievement by their teachers and identified through testing programs. At Village View Elementary School, students in the GATE program receive instruction with increased depth and complexity by through differientiated instruction. Students in the GATE program also have the option of attending the magnet program at Circle View Elementary School. GATE For students whose primary language is not English and who have limited English proficiency, Ocean View School District offers programs to help them acquire English as quickly as possible and prepare them to meet the state’s academic content standards. Students are identified as English Learners through the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). At Village View Elementary School, students learning English are placed with teachers who have supplemental credentials to provide instruction to English Learners and receive 30 minutes of English Language Development (ELD) instruction throughout the school day. Contact Information English Language Learners Village View Elementary School also offers self-contained instruction for students ages three to thirteen with severe disabilities. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech/ Language Specialist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Village View Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. Individualized Instruction For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board approved deferred maintenance projects for this school that will result in asphalt repair and carpet replacement. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. 3 1 Speech and Language Specialist 2.0 3.5 1.0 1.0 0.4 2.0 3.0 0.2 0.5 3.0 0.4 Full Time Equivalent Using standards-based adopted textbooks and materials, teachers are able to adapt classroom instruction to meet students’ unique learning styles. When further assistance is needed for students to achieve grade level standards, several strategies are in place. At Village View Elementary School, students who are falling below grade level or are at risk of retention meet with the school’s Resource Specialist for special pull-out remediation sessions and/or may meet with school counseling staff members. The Student Success Team (SST), composed of the principal, Speech/ Language Specialist, Resource Specialist, Psychologist, and regular classroom teacher, also assists individual students with academic and/or behavioral issues through a referral process. 7 2 Special Day Class (SDC) Teacher 1 RSP Aide SDC Aide 2 1 Resource Specialist Program (RSP) Teacher 2 Preschool Special Day Class (SDC) Teacher Psychologist 6 Preschool Special Day Class (SDC) Aide 1 Library Technician 1 3 Health Clerk Nurse 1 Adaptive PE Specialist Number of Staff Counseling & Support Services Staff The chart lists support services offered to students. Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. Maintenance and Repair The Comprehensive Safe School Plan was developed by the District to comply with Senate Bill 187 (SB 187) of 1997. The plan provides students and staff a means of ensuring a safe and orderly learning environment. Each school includes the following requirements of SB 187 within their safe school plans: current status of school crime; child abuse reporting procedures; disaster procedures; policies related to suspension and expulsion; notification to teachers; sexual harassment policy; provision of a schoolwide dress code; safe ingress and egress of pupils, parents, and school employees to and from school; safe and orderly school environment; and school rules and procedures. The school evaluates the plan annually and updates it as needed. The plan was last updated in October 2009. Safety procedures, including elements of the Safe School Plan, are reviewed with school staff at the beginning of each school year. Village View Elementary School is a closed campus. Signs posted throughout campus entry points direct visitors to check in with the front office. All visitors are required to register and to wear visitor badges during their stay. While we welcome visits by parents and community members, anyone wishing to be on campus during school hours should notify staff ahead of time. During lunch, breaks, and before and after school, noon duty aides and teachers supervise students and monitor the campus. * 81 81 69 2008 School * 68 74 69 2009 43 58 67 60 2007 54 68 69 63 2008 District 55 64 69 64 2009 33 38 40 43 2007 36 46 43 46 2008 State * * 64 55 44 * 57 * * 58 74 72 * * * * * * Science * * * * * * * * * * * * * History/ Social Science Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics.

The state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet. Academic Performance Index In 2008-09, 51.9% of fifth grade students at Village View Elementary School met the standards in all six areas. In the spring of each year, Village View Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in fifth grade. The physical fitness test is a standardized evaluation that measures each student’s ability to perform fitness tasks in six major areas. Students that meet or exceed the standards in all six fitness areas are considered to be physically fit or in the healthy fitness zone (HFZ). Physical Fitness The California Standards Test (CST), a component of the STAR Program, is administered to all students in the spring to assess student performance in relation to the State Content Standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels: Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), and Far Below Basic (well below standards). The combined percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Advanced levels in English/Language Arts, Math, Social Science, and Science, for the most recent three-year period, is shown. For results on course specific tests, please see http://star.cde.ca.gov. California Standards Test The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades.

Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

Students would also be allowed to transfer to schools (within their district) that have met their AYP standards, and the former school would be required to provide the transportation to the new site. Results of school and district performance are displayed in the chart. • Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. • Percent proficient on the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and Mathematics. • API as an additional indicator. • Graduation rate (for secondary schools). No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal. The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements: Adequate Yearly Progress Schools and districts receiving Federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English/Language Arts or Mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP.

Counseling & Support Staff For the 2009-10 school year, the district’s governing board did not approve any deferred maintenance projects. The district’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the district office. Deferred Maintenance Projects The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2009-10 school year, the district budgeted $389,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents 0.51% of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred Maintenance Budget The district governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. A summary of these standards is available at the school office or at the district office. The site administration team works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. Cleaning Process and Schedule Safety concerns are the number one priority of Maintenance and Operations. District maintenance supervisors are proactive and conduct inspections at school sites on a continual basis. Repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority. The district maintenance staff has indicated that 100% of all toilets on school grounds are in working order. 3 Published: December 2009 In addition to District-established performance objectives, the state and federal governments have set standards for student achievement. A school’s progress in meeting or exceeding those standards is measured through the results of testing and other criteria. The following sections provide an overview of tests and associated data showing the progress of students at the school and district level, as well as a comparison of that progress to students throughout the state. In the Ocean View School District, students take a battery of district assessments three times a year. Assessments measure student ability in reading, writing, and math. Results are compiled into an individual Student Assessment Profile/Rubric for each child. Teachers use this information to modify instruction according to a child’s needs, recommend interventions to increase the level of achievement, and monitor possible retention candidates. To obtain accurate and valid measures of educational progress, Ocean View School District offers students multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of state and district grade-level standards. Multiple measures of assessment monitor the progress of students and measure the effectiveness of the instructional program. These measures include district assessments, state standardized tests, classroom observation, and report card grades. Measures of Student Achievement Ocean View School District offers the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program to students in grades four through eight who have been recognized as capable of attaining high levels of achievement by their teachers and identified through testing programs. Students at Westmont Elementary School who are eligible for GATE have the option of attending the magnet program at Circle View Elementary School. GATE For students whose primary language is not English and who have limited English proficiency, Ocean View School District offers programs to help them acquire English as quickly as possible and prepare them to meet the state’s academic content standards. Students are identified as English Learners through the California English Language Development Test (CELDT). At Westmont Elementary School, students learning English receive a minimum of 30 minutes of small group English Language Development daily and are placed with teachers who have supplemental credentials to provide instruction to English Learners. Other language support is provided by bilingual instructional assistants and Title I teachers. English Language Learners Westmont Elementary School provides instruction to all students in the least restrictive environment possible. Students with disabilities are accommodated with a variety of options. A team consisting of the parent, school administrator, general education teacher, psychologist, and special education teacher, develops an Individual Education Plan (IEP). The IEP defines the individualized instruction a child will receive which may include services from a Speech and Language Specialist, Resource Specialist, Adaptive Physical Education Specialist, or placement in a Special Day Class. Westmont Elementary School also offers two classes for deaf and hard-of-hearing students and a special education preschool. Individualized Instruction Using standards-based adopted textbooks and materials, teachers are able to adapt classroom instruction to meet students’ unique learning styles. When further assistance is needed for students to achieve grade level standards, several strategies are in place. At Westmont Elementary School, students who are falling below grade level or are at risk of retention receive differentiated instruction in the general classroom. Additional support is provided by the Student Success Team (SST) and the Early Reading Intervention (K-1), Soar to Success (4-5), Language! (3-5), and READ 180 (3-5) programs. 75 47 * Science History/Social Science * School - % of Schools Identified for PI Westmont Elementary School - - - Not in PI # of Schools Currently in PI Year in PI (2009-10) First Year in PI Program Improvement (PI) Status 0.00% 0 Year 1 2009-2010 In PI District Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics.

Publisher National Assessment of Educational Progress District-Adopted Textbooks Subject Ocean View School District sets a high priority upon ensuring that sufficient and current textbooks and materials are available to support each school’s instructional program. Ocean View School District held a Public Hearing on October 6, 2009, and determined that each school within the district has sufficient and good quality textbooks or instructional materials, pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are provided their own textbooks, instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home to complete required homework assignments. All textbooks and instructional materials used within the district are aligned with the California Academic Content Standards and Frameworks and have been selected from the state’s most recent list of standards-based materials. The district follows the State Board of Education’s six-year adoption cycle for core content materials. The table lists the textbooks currently (as of September 2009) in use. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It mandates that all students (including students who are economically disadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, have disabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet the state academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. Schools must demonstrate “Adequate Yearly Progress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal.

Standardized Testing and Reporting Results by Student Group – Most Recent Year 61 2006-07 English-Language Arts Subject School This table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards). Standardized Testing and Reporting Results for All Students – Three-Year Comparison The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including the California Standards Tests (CSTs); the California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). The CSTs show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. The CSTs include English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and ten through eleven. The CAPA includes ELA, mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The CMA includes ELA for grades three through eight and science in grades five and eight and is an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. Student scores are reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, can be found on the CDE Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov. Program information regarding the STAR Program can be found in the Explaining 2008 STAR Program Summary Results to the Public guide at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/starpkt5intrpts.pdf.

Academic Performance Index Growth by Student Group – Three-Year Comparison 9 2006 Statewide API Rank This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “similar schools.” A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school’s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools. Academic Performance Index Ranks – Three-Year Comparison The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800.

Detailed information about dropout rates and graduation rates can be found on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/. Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate Admission requirements for the California State University (CSU) use three factors to determine eligibility. They are specific high school courses; grades in specified courses and test scores; and graduation from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For general admissions requirements please visit the California State University Web page at http://www.calstate.edu/SAS/admreq.shtml. California State University Admission requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state’s high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work.

Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities and English language learners is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress Web page (Outside Source). National Assessment of Educational Progress XIII. National Assessment of Educational Progress All new teachers participate in Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA). In addition to on campus activities which are attended by all instructional staff, the majority of teachers participate in off campus training programs or workshops. Curriculum implementation, Common Assessments, Intervention Strategies and assessment information were the focus of recent staff development involvements. The school also has received a Digital High School Grant; every classroom has a computer which accesses the internet, and there are two instructional computer labs with 36-40 computers. Teachers receive regular training in technology from specially trained Teacher Resource Trainers. Edison High School received a state grant to create a Center for International Business and Communications Studies. The grant is being used to update technology and curriculum in order to better prepare students for the work world. The HBUHSD is recognized statewide for the quality of its curriculum. Edison High School teachers, in collaboration with district curriculum specialists, review the curriculum on a regular basis in order to ensure quality of the instructional program. The resulting curriculum reflects State Frameworks, teacher recommendations, community needs, and the needs of all students as they pursue postsecondary goals.

National Assessment of Educational Progress Reading and Mathematics Results by Grade Level – All Students Note: Only a sample group of California's schools and districts participate in the NAEP testing cycle. Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. Comparisons of student performance on the NAEP and student performance on the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program assessments cannot be made without an understanding of the key differences between the two assessment programs. For example, the NAEP only assesses grades four, eight and twelve and for long-term trends assesses grades nine, thirteen, and seventeen. Additionally, the NAEP only provides state test results for grades four and eight. The California Standards Tests (CSTs) are based on a different set of standards than the NAEP assessments. For example, the NAEP is not aligned with California academic content and achievement standards and, therefore, does not necessarily reflect the curriculum and instruction to which students are exposed in the classroom. The NAEP assesses reading and writing separately, while the CSTs assess Englishlanguage arts (ELA), encompassing reading as well as writing conventions, spelling, and grammar. Scores on the CSTs and other assessments are not directly comparable to those on NAEP. The averages and percentages presented are estimates based on samples of students rather than on entire populations. Finally, the questions students respond to are only a sample of the knowledge and skills covered by the NAEP frameworks. Information on the differences between NAEP and CST can be found on the CDE National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Web page.

Standardized Testing and Reporting Results by Student Group – Most Recent Year 58 2006-07 English-Language Arts Subject School This table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards). Standardized Testing and Reporting Results for All Students – Three-Year Comparison The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including the California Standards Tests (CSTs); the California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). The CSTs show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. The CSTs include English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and ten through eleven. The CAPA includes ELA, mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The CMA includes ELA for grades three through eight and science in grades five and eight and is an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. Student scores are reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, can be found on the CDE Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov. Program information regarding the STAR Program can be found in the Explaining 2008 STAR Program Summary Results to the Public guide at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/starpkt5intrpts.pdf. Note: Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy. In no case shall any group score be reported that would deliberately or inadvertently make public the score or performance of any individual student. Standardized Testing and Reporting Program IX.

Academic Performance Index Growth by Student Group – Three-Year Comparison 9 2006 Statewide API Rank This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “similar schools.” A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school’s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools. Academic Performance Index Ranks – Three-Year Comparison The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800.

Detailed information about dropout rates and graduation rates can be found on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/. Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate Admission requirements for the California State University (CSU) use three factors to determine eligibility. They are specific high school courses; grades in specified courses and test scores; and graduation from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For general admissions requirements please visit the California State University Web page at http://www.calstate.edu/SAS/admreq.shtml. California State University Admission requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state’s high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work.

Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. Comparisons of student performance on the NAEP and student performance on the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program assessments cannot be made without an understanding of the key differences between the two assessment programs. For example, the NAEP only assesses grades four, eight and twelve and for long-term trends assesses grades nine, thirteen, and seventeen. Additionally, the NAEP only provides state test results for grades four and eight. The California Standards Tests (CSTs) are based on a different set of standards than the NAEP assessments. For example, the NAEP is not aligned with California academic content and achievement standards and, therefore, does not necessarily reflect the curriculum and instruction to which students are exposed in the classroom. The NAEP assesses reading and writing separately, while the CSTs assess Englishlanguage arts (ELA), encompassing reading as well as writing conventions, spelling, and grammar. Scores on the CSTs and other assessments are not directly comparable to those on NAEP. The averages and percentages presented are estimates based on samples of students rather than on entire populations. Finally, the questions students respond to are only a sample of the knowledge and skills covered by the NAEP frameworks. Information on the differences between NAEP and CST can be found on the CDE National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Web page. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities and English language learners is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress Web page (Outside Source). National Assessment of Educational Progress XIII. National Assessment of Educational Progress All new teachers participate in Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA). In addition to on-campus activities which are attended by all instructional staff, the majority of HBHS teachers participate in off-campus training programs or workshops. The HBUHSD also promotes staff development through partnerships with UC Irvine, CSU Long Beach, the community colleges and a teacher training consortium in Huntington Beach. The emphasis is on all students graduating with a solid core of knowledge that will assist them in reaching their greatest potential and becoming responsible citizens. The HBUHSD is recognized statewide for the quality of its curriculum which is developed and continually updated by teachers in coordination with a staff of curriculum specialists who are experts in their fields. The resulting curriculum reflects State Frameworks, teacher recommendations, community needs, and the needs of all students as they pursue post-secondary goals. This section provides information on the annual number of school days dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period. Professional Development XII.

Standardized Testing and Reporting Results by Student Group – Most Recent Year 61 2006-07 English-Language Arts Subject School This table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards). Standardized Testing and Reporting Results for All Students – Three-Year Comparison The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including the California Standards Tests (CSTs); the California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). The CSTs show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. The CSTs include English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and ten through eleven. The CAPA includes ELA, mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The CMA includes ELA for grades three through eight and science in grades five and eight and is an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. Student scores are reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, can be found on the CDE Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov. Program information regarding the STAR Program can be found in the Explaining 2008 STAR Program Summary Results to the Public guide at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/starpkt5intrpts.pdf. Note: Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy. In no case shall any group score be reported that would deliberately or inadvertently make public the score or performance of any individual student. Standardized Testing and Reporting Program IX.

Academic Performance Index Growth by Student Group – Three-Year Comparison 9 2006 Statewide API Rank This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “similar schools.” A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school’s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools. Academic Performance Index Ranks – Three-Year Comparison The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800.

Detailed information about dropout rates and graduation rates can be found on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/. Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate Admission requirements for the California State University (CSU) use three factors to determine eligibility. They are specific high school courses; grades in specified courses and test scores; and graduation from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For general admissions requirements please visit the California State University Web page at http://www.calstate.edu/SAS/admreq.shtml. California State University Admission requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state’s high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work.

Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. Comparisons of student performance on the NAEP and student performance on the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program assessments cannot be made without an understanding of the key differences between the two assessment programs. For example, the NAEP only assesses grades four, eight and twelve and for long-term trends assesses grades nine, thirteen, and seventeen. Additionally, the NAEP only provides state test results for grades four and eight. The California Standards Tests (CSTs) are based on a different set of standards than the NAEP assessments. For example, the NAEP is not aligned with California academic content and achievement standards and, therefore, does not necessarily reflect the curriculum and instruction to which students are exposed in the classroom. The NAEP assesses reading and writing separately, while the CSTs assess Englishlanguage arts (ELA), encompassing reading as well as writing conventions, spelling, and grammar. Scores on the CSTs and other assessments are not directly comparable to those on NAEP. The averages and percentages presented are estimates based on samples of students rather than on entire populations. Finally, the questions students respond to are only a sample of the knowledge and skills covered by the NAEP frameworks. Information on the differences between NAEP and CST can be found on the CDE National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Web page. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities and English language learners is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress Web page (Outside Source). National Assessment of Educational Progress XIII. National Assessment of Educational Progress All new teachers participate in Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA). In addition to on campus activities which are attended by all instructional staff, the majority of MHS teachers participate in off campus training programs or workshops. The HBUHSD also promotes staff development through partnerships with UC Irvine, CSU Long Beach, the community colleges and a teacher training consortium in Huntington Beach. The emphasis is on all students graduating with a solid core of knowledge that will assist them in reaching their greatest potential and becoming responsible citizens. The HBUHSD is recognized statewide for the quality of its curriculum which is developed and continually updated by teachers in coordination with a staff of curriculum specialists who are experts in their fields. The resulting curriculum reflects California Frameworks, teacher recommendations, community needs, and the needs of all students as they pursue post-secondary goals.

Standardized Testing and Reporting Results by Student Group – Most Recent Year 41 2006-07 English-Language Arts Subject School This table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards). Standardized Testing and Reporting Results for All Students – Three-Year Comparison The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including the California Standards Tests (CSTs); the California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). The CSTs show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. The CSTs include English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and ten through eleven. The CAPA includes ELA, mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The CMA includes ELA for grades three through eight and science in grades five and eight and is an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. Student scores are reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, can be found on the CDE Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov. Program information regarding the STAR Program can be found in the Explaining 2008 STAR Program Summary Results to the Public guide at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/documents/starpkt5intrpts.pdf. Note: Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy. In no case shall any group score be reported that would deliberately or inadvertently make public the score or performance of any individual student. Standardized Testing and Reporting Program IX.

Academic Performance Index Growth by Student Group – Three-Year Comparison 7 2006 Statewide API Rank This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “similar schools.” A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school’s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools. Academic Performance Index Ranks – Three-Year Comparison The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800.

Detailed information about dropout rates and graduation rates can be found on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/. Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate Admission requirements for the California State University (CSU) use three factors to determine eligibility. They are specific high school courses; grades in specified courses and test scores; and graduation from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For general admissions requirements please visit the California State University Web page at http://www.calstate.edu/SAS/admreq.shtml. California State University Admission requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state’s high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work.

Therefore, students in any particular school or district may not be included in these results. The NAEP reflects state test results and is not reflective of either the LEA or the individual school. Comparisons of student performance on the NAEP and student performance on the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program assessments cannot be made without an understanding of the key differences between the two assessment programs. For example, the NAEP only assesses grades four, eight and twelve and for long-term trends assesses grades nine, thirteen, and seventeen. Additionally, the NAEP only provides state test results for grades four and eight. The California Standards Tests (CSTs) are based on a different set of standards than the NAEP assessments. For example, the NAEP is not aligned with California academic content and achievement standards and, therefore, does not necessarily reflect the curriculum and instruction to which students are exposed in the classroom. The NAEP assesses reading and writing separately, while the CSTs assess Englishlanguage arts (ELA), encompassing reading as well as writing conventions, spelling, and grammar. Scores on the CSTs and other assessments are not directly comparable to those on NAEP. The averages and percentages presented are estimates based on samples of students rather than on entire populations. Finally, the questions students respond to are only a sample of the knowledge and skills covered by the NAEP frameworks. Information on the differences between NAEP and CST can be found on the CDE National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Web page. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationally representative assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. Student scores for reading and mathematics are reported as performance levels (i.e., basic, proficient, and advanced) and the participation of students with disabilities and English language learners is reported based on three levels (identified, excluded, and assessed). Detailed information regarding the NAEP results for each grade, performance level, and participation rate can be found on the National Assessment of Educational Progress Web page (Outside Source). National Assessment of Educational Progress XIII. National Assessment of Educational Progress All new teachers participate in Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment (BTSA). In addition to on campus activities which are attended by all instructional staff, the majority of OVHS teachers participate in off campus training programs or workshops. The HBUHSD also promotes staff development through partnerships with UC Irvine, CSU Long Beach, the community colleges and a teacher training consortium in Huntington Beach. The emphasis is on all students graduating with a solid core of knowledge that will assist them in reaching their greatest potential and becoming responsible citizens. The HBUHSD is recognized statewide for the quality of its curriculum which is developed and continually updated by teachers in coordination with a staff of curriculum specialists who are experts in their fields. The resulting curriculum reflects State Frameworks, teacher recommendations, community needs, and the needs of all students as they pursue post-secondary goals. This section provides information on the annual number of school days dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period. Professional Development XII.
