2019–2020 School Accountability Report Card

School Accountability Report Card

Reported Using Data from the 2019–2020 School Year

California Department of Education
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 https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
  • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF web page at https://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 at https://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ 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).

California School Dashboard

The California School Dashboard (Dashboard) https://www.caschooldashboard.org/ reflects California’s new accountability and continuous improvement system and provides information about how LEAs and schools are meeting the needs of California’s diverse student population. The Dashboard contains reports that display the performance of LEAs, schools, and student groups on a set of state and local measures to assist in identifying strengths, challenges, and areas in need of improvement.

About Our School

I am honored to be leading a program that emphasizes dual language, social responsibility and global citizenship.
Respect is the core element to successful citizenship. It is vital that children learn this at the elementary level as they are developing their personalities and forming habits that will last a lifetime. At Kavod we develop these qualities in our students by nurturing their work ethic, enhancing their academic skills, cherishing their individuality, and promoting social responsibility.
I recognize that it requires a strong team of dedicated individuals to ensure an organization’s success. We work with the entire Kavod family to fulfill our vision. Together we are building a program that will bring tremendous value to our society.

State Priority: Basic

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Basic (Priority 1):

  • Degree to which teachers are appropriately assigned and fully credentialed in the subject area and for the pupils they are teaching;
  • Pupils have access to standards-aligned instructional materials; and
  • School facilities are maintained in good repair


State Priority: Pupil Achievement

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4):

  • Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students in the general education population and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Only eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. CAAs items are aligned with alternate achievement standards, which are linked with the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities); and

  • The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University, or career technical education sequences or programs of study.

Grades Three through Eight and Grade Eleven

English Language Arts / Literacy (grades 3-8 and 11) 61.0% N/A 57.0% N/A 50% N/A
Mathematics (grades 3-8 and 11) 54.0% N/A 48.0% N/A 39% N/A

Note: Cells with N/A values do not require data.
Note: The 2019–2020 data are not available. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Executive Order N-30-20 was issued which waived the requirement for statewide testing for the 2019–2020 school year.
Note: Percentages are not calculated 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.
Note: ELA and mathematics test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the CAA. The "Percent Met or Exceeded" is calculated by taking the total number of students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard (i.e., achieved Level 3-Alternate) on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments.

Expulsions -- 0.00% -- -- 0.10% 0.10%


Suspensions and Expulsions for School Year 2019–2020 Only

(data collected between July through February, partial school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic)

Suspensions 0.30% -- --
Expulsions 0.00% -- --

Note: The 2019–2020 suspensions and expulsions rate data are not comparable to prior year data because the 2019–2020 school year is a partial school year due to the COVID-19 crisis. As such, it would be inappropriate to make any comparisons in rates of suspensions and expulsions in the 2019–2020 school year compared to prior years.
