Executive Summary School Accountability Report Card, 2008-09

The data presented in this report are reported for the 2008-09 school year, except the School Finances and School Completion data that are reported for the 2007-08 school year.

About This School 

Bayshore Prep is an alternative to the regular classroom program and is designed to meet the needs of all home schooled children, grades K-12, regardless of ability, including all levels of academic achievement, students with special needs and students with limited English proficiency. It is not intended that Bayshore Prep becomes an enticement for parents/guardians to withdraw their student(s) from the traditional public school.  Instead, it is the intent of Bayshore Prep to support those families seeking an alternative educational approach.

Bayshore Prep’s students include those families who seek direct involvement in their child’s education. Bayshore Prep places the parent/guardian or other responsible adult into the role of a partner with Bayshore Prep. While Bayshore Prep recognizes the important role that the certificated teacher plays in the overall guidance for learning in the home, it also respects the parent's right of choice regarding curricular material that, in addition to meeting state standards, also supports values and beliefs that are important to each individual family.

Bayshore Prep focuses on the student as an individual and recognizes that students learn differently. Therefore, we have created diverse learning environments through site-based, supplemental support classes, hands-on projects, and on-line curriculum all aligned to the State Content Standards. We believe that students will be successful when they receive information in a manner that is compatible with their learning styles and their developmental ability. Bayshore Prep works in partnership with the parents and students to create Personalized Learning Plans (PLP) that serve students’ unique interests, goals, and abilities. Bayshore Prep offers a choice in curriculum, classes, instructional methods, schedules, and teachers.

To implement our vision, positive parental contribution is essential. Bayshore Prep continues to believe that a positive learning climate welcomes and encourages family involvement. Family involvement brings about improved teaching. Improved teaching leads to greater academic achievement by students. Academic achievement and student success lead to a positive learning climate. Parents, students, and teachers together build, not just a school, but a community - one in which diversity of strengths, cultures, and family backgrounds are valued.

School Description and Mission Statement (School Year 2008-09) 

The mission of Bayshore Prep is to provide a variety of educational opportunities through independent study and onsite support classes that allow K-12 students to participate in creating individualized educational goals that enable students to become self-motivated, competent, lifelong learners.

Staff and faculty are committed to providing an intimate, friendly academic environment that recognizes and values a student's unique learning profile, defines clear expectations, sets appropriate yet challenging goals, and celebrates the achievement of these goals. Bayshore Prep believes that students who are actively involved in their educational program develop self-direction and thus become lifelong learners who are productive global citizens.

Our mission is to prepare students to become responsible citizens in the 21st century, a world of cultural diversity and rapid technological change. Students are offered a challenging curriculum and cutting-edge educational technology. They are held to the highest academic standards and, through personalized learning plans, are given the nurturing required to reach those standards. Students learn in an integrated, multi-disciplinary environment that incorporates computer technology and real life cooperative experiences in the outside community.

At the foundation of our program is a partnership between students, parents and teachers. All teachers are encouraged to use innovative teaching methods. Educators frequently collaborate with parents and students on curriculum. Our high expectations and individualized choices encourage students to become actively engaged, passionate learners. Graduates are prepared to successfully compete in the workforce, to attend the universities of their choice, to communicate across gender, race, and socioeconomic complexities, and to value service to others in society. Serving students in grades K-12, Bayshore Prep is dedicated to assisting our youth in becoming adults who are competent, confident, productive, and adaptable, with the skills and attitudes to enable them to successfully contribute to society.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2008-09) 

The Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) was established to make recommendations to the Board concerning needed changes and/or additions to the charter as well as oversee fundraising. The PAC consists of parents/guardians of students enrolled at Bayshore Prep and the Executive Director. Parent/guardian members are chosen by ballot of parents of students enrolled. The PAC meets not less than four (4) times per year. They may elect from their ranks a Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary to serve one year terms. Each member will have one vote and all decisions will require a simple majority of the members voting. The PAC has adopted its own procedures for filling mid-term vacancies. Members report their proceedings directly to the Board at the next monthly Board meeting. The PAC oversees fundraising activities and directs the allocation of spending with input from staff. All parents/guardians are welcome to attend the PAC meetings.

III. School Climate 

School Safety Plan (School Year 2008-09) 

This section provides information about the school's comprehensive safety plan. 

Bayshore Prep has a comprehensive and well-planned safety plan contained in an Emergency Preparedness Handbook.  The manual was developed over time with input from the district, disaster training workshops, and professional emergency personnel. Included in the handbook are plans for a wide variety of potential disasters including both man-made and natural emergencies. This Handbook is updated annually. At the beginning of the school year, the Emergency Prepared Handbook is distributed to the teachers and reviewed for clarification and procedures related to any emergency.  Fire and Lockdown procedures are explained and practiced on a regular basis at the school as required by law. Any updated safety issues or concerns are immediately addressed at regular staff meetings.

In addition, the school site is monitored 24 hours with exterior security cameras.  The school’s internal security system operated 24 hours a day.

IX. Student Performance 

Standardized Testing and Reporting Program  

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, and science in grades two through eleven, and for 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 and mathematics for grades three through eight and science in grade five and is an alternate assessment that is based on modifiedachievement 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. Program information regarding the STAR Program can be found in the Explaining 2008 STAR Program Summary Results to the Public guide. 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.

X. Accountability 

Academic Performance Index 

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 the API can be found on the CDE Academic Performance Index (API) Web page. 

Academic Performance Index Ranks – Three-Year Comparison 

This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from one to ten. A statewide rank of one means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of ten 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 one 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 ten means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

"B"

means this is either an LEA or an Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school. Schools participating in the ASAM do not currently receive growth, target information, or statewide or similar schools rankings on this report in recognition of their markedly different educational missions and populations served. ASAM schools are covered under the Alternative Accountability system as required by Education Code Section 52052 and not the API accountability system. However, API information is needed to comply with the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. Growth, target and rank information are not applicable to LEAs.

"C"

means this is a special education school. Statewide and similar schools ranks are not applicable to special education schools.

" * "

means this API is calculated for a small school or a small LEA, defined as having between 11 and 99 valid STAR Program test scores included in the API. APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and therefore should be carefully interpreted. Similar schools ranks are not calculated for small schools.

Adequate Yearly Progress 

The federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria: 

     Participation rate on the state’s standards-based assessments in 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)

Detailed information about AYP, including participation rates and percent proficient results by student group, can be found on the CDE Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Web page. 

Adequate Yearly Progress Overall and by Criteria (School Year 2008-09)

XI. School Completion and Postsecondary Preparation 

Admission Requirements for California Public Universities 

University of California 

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. For general admissions requirements please visit the General Admissions Information Web page (Outside Source).

California State University 

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 Undergraduate Admission & Requirements Web page (Outside Source).

Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate 

This table displays the school’s one-year dropout and graduation rates for the most recent three-year period for which data are available. For comparison purposes, data are also provided at the district and state levels. Detailed information about dropout rates and graduation rates can be found on the CDE DataQuest Web page.

XII. Instructional Planning and Scheduling  

Professional Development 

This section provides information on the annual number of school days dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period.  

Several days prior to school commencing, professional development is provided in grade and subject level curriculum, the school information tracking system, student assessment including STAR data analysis by grade level, subject and cluster content.  On-going professional development, including workshops, conferences and weekly staff meetings are available throughout the year. Teachers are sent to workshops and return as trainer of trainers. Beginning teachers participate in BTSA training. Because of the structure of our program, opportunities are available throughout the year that don’t impact continued student learning. 

 

XIII. National Assessment of Educational Progress 

National Assessment of Educational Progress 

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). 

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 English-language 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.
