‹ ›
By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC).The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.
  • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
  • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.
  • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office.

DataQuest

DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners).

Internet Access

Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents.

About Our School

Welcome to Las Flores Home Education Independent Study Academy, "Home of the Leopards". We are an independent study school in the Bellflower Unified School District that serves elementary, middle, and high school students who reside within Los Angeles and adjacent counties. The Home Education Academy offers students a viable alternative to the traditional elementary, middle, and high school learning experience. Through this unique public school setting, parents have the opportunity to fully or partially take on the role of teacher in the elementary and middle school setting and act as a facilitator during the high school setting using curriculum provided by the district at no cost.

The Las Flores Home Education Independent Study Academy provides a small, caring, and academically challenging program that allows students of varying ability levels to flourish through a variety of means. In the elementary and middle school core program, multi-age classrooms provide opportunities for students to accelerate and remediate when necessary. The “One Room School House” feel enables families to easily extend classroom learning at home for siblings in different grade levels, while “transparent” walls promote developmental learning as students across grade levels are periodically grouped based on skills. Well-rounded children with strong character and values are also developed through Enrichment Friday events consisting of art, technology, and Mandarin language classes and monthly community outreach opportunities.

In the high school blended program, students have the opportunity to receive multi-age, project-based, face-to-face instruction from highly qualified teachers three days a week while self-regulating online independent study in their remaining courses utilizing district provided technology. In addition, all students have study lab opportunities 3 days a week to enable them to collaborate with peers as well as receive support in both online and face-to-face classes from their classroom and/or supervising teacher. All courses are a-g approved and follow the California Content Standards. Student clubs and activities are available based on students' interests. Parents and teachers have regularly scheduled open communication where they can discuss student progress through the curriculum as well as academic needs.
