School Accountability Report Card
Reported Using Data from the 2016-17 School Year
Published During 2017-18
Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences
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.
DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://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.)
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.

School Facility Conditions and Planned ImprovementsThe District takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional within the available resources. The District has established cleaning standards for all school facilities in assigning and inspecting custodial work. Food service and restroom facilities are given highest priority on a daily basis to ensure the health and safety of students and staff. Other cleaning functions may be scheduled on a less than daily frequency due to the limitation of available custodial resources. Determination of repair status is based on the most recent SARC Inspection. Additional information about the condition of the school facilities may be obtained from the school. |

Career Technical Education Programs (School Year 2016-17)Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in LAUSD prepare students to pursue a college education or enter today's competitive global workforce. Upon completion of a sequence of non-duplicative multi-year sequence of courses that integrate core academic knowledge with industry specific technical knowledge, students graduate high school with a wide range of academic, technical and employability skills and knowledge. CTE courses support the California Common Core State Standards and CTE Model Curriculum Standards which include Standards for Career Ready Practices, preparing students for a successful high school experience, postsecondary options and the world of work. In CTE programs the students analyze and apply the knowledge and skills acquired in core academic subjects like English, math, and science. The California Department of Education identifies 15 industry sectors divided in 58 career pathways. LAUSD offers programs in 34 of the 58 pathways. A total of 288 pathways, taught by CTE credentialed teachers at 109 middle and high schools, offer career training to students to give them a head start in the career field so they can graduate college and career ready. The Carl D. Perkins Career Technical Education Act of 2006 provides supplemental federal funds approximately $5 million annually to initiate, expand and improve career technical education programs leading to certification for employment in high-demand, high-wage occupations. LAUSD has secured 33 million in round 1 and 27 million in round 2 of the CTEIG grant, a governor's initiative to boost the CTE programs in California. Additionally there are 47 California Partnership Academies and 45 Linked Learning pathways. The Linked Learning approach integrates rigorous academics that meet college-ready standards with sequenced, high-quality career-technical education, work-based learning, and supports to help students stay on track. For Linked Learning students, education is organized around industry-sector themes. In 2016-17, there were 82,289 students who participated in CTE classes. There are 88 A-G approved CTE courses are available for the CTE programs and 35 CTE courses are articulated with post-secondary institutions. LAUSD and LACCD developed a Memorandum of Understanding for AB288 to offer dual enrollment courses in CTE so students can earn college and high school credit in addition to Industry Recognized Certificate in various industry sectors. In 2016-17 students in CTE classes earned 3,643 Industry Recognized Certifications such as Microsoft Office Specialist, Internet Core Competency Certification (IC3), Adobe Certified Associate, AutoCAD, Revit, fusion 360, CPR, First Aid, Serve Safe, Food Handlers, Financial Literacy, OSHA, Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), Torque Mechanical, Torque Electrical, ShopKey Pro Service and repair Level 1 and Level 2, Multimeter and Verus Pro, Snap On National Coalition for Certification Centers (NC3), SP2, Code Academy, Javascript. For additional information, please contact the LAUSD CTE office (213-241-8754) or the school principal for a specific school CTE program.

The information in this section is required to be in the SARC but is not included in the state priorities for LCFF.
On August 6, 2013, the United States Secretary of Education awarded the NCLB Waiver to eight California school districts, including Los Angeles Unified School District, that are part of the California Office to Reform Education (CORE) Consortium. The waiver allows the CORE districts to immediately implement an alternative accountability system, instead of the AYP. This new accountability system, School Quality Improvement System, will give the participating districts more flexibility and accountability in how they measure student performance and raise academic performance at the district level. While the California Department of Education (CDE) continues to publish AYP status for LAUSD schools, beginning in 2013-14 school year, the district will implement the School Quality Improvement System.
The NCLB Waiver awarded to LAUSD allows for several flexibilities from the previous accountability system. While CDE continues to identify LAUSD and certain district schools to be in PI status, the corrective actions and other interventions previously required of PI district and schools are no longer mandatory as the district implements the School Quality Improvement System in 2014-15. Using the School Quality Improvement Index, the district will identify several categories of schools for improvement, including 'Priority', 'Focus', and 'Support'. The School Quality Improvement Index will also identify 'Reward' and 'Collaborative Partner' schools that have made progress, who may be required to partner with a Priority or Focus school to support improvement efforts.

Types of Services Funded (Fiscal Year 2016-17)This section provides information about the programs and supplemental services that are available at the school and funded through categorical sources. Title I funds are used to support effective, research-based educational strategies for students not meeting the state's challenging academic achievement standards. Title I funds are distributed to schools with a minimum of 50% poverty on a per-pupil basis. Based on an analysis of student achievement data, Title I resources may be used for professional development, TIER II supplemental instruction and intervention, parental involvement, personalization and support for students who are academically at risk. Title III funds are allocated for the following purpose: To increase the English Proficiency of LEP students by providing high quality language instruction educational programs. Based on scientific research that demonstrates the effectiveness of the programs in increasing English Proficiency and student achievement in the core academic subjects and to provide high quality professional development to teachers, principals, administrators and other school and community-based personnel. Each local district determines how funds are distributed to school sites based on locally determined needs, funds may provide EL coaches and professional development services. Economic Impact Aid-Limited English Proficient (EIA-LEP) is a state categorical program that provides supplemental funds to support programs for English Learners. Supplemental materials are centrally funded and provided to schools.

Professional Development - Most Recent 3 YearsThe professional development provided in the 2017-18 school year was designed to deepen the knowledge of teachers and schools leaders of the California content standards and frameworks in English language arts, English language development, mathematics, history/social studies, science, visual performing arts, health, physical education, other content subjects and literacy in history/social studies, science, and technical subjects. The professional development has built upon the phases of implementation of the standards, the Professional Learning and Leadership Development initiatives incorporating the Teaching and Learning and School Leadership frameworks, and targeted instruction for our subgroups. The primary focus of professional development within the District continues to be focused on effective first instruction using newly adopted instructional materials (particularly in English language arts, English language development and mathematics) aligned with the California content standards as the foundation for equity, access, culturally and linguistically responsive teaching, Universal Design for Learning, integration of social emotional learning, and multi-tiered systems of support for both tier I instruction and tier II/III interventions for behavior and academics. The District encourages schools to use a plan-deliver-reflect-revise model where teachers work collaboratively to construct instructional lessons, analyze student work, and reflect on instructional practices. The specific focus areas have been on the delivery of literacy and language instruction that ensures that all students read, write, speak and listen effectively, accurately, and fluently by the end of 2nd grade; the implementation of the California English language development standards (CA ELD); the transition to the new state History/Social Science and Science Frameworks; and the development of the instructional leadership team to collectively build capacity that increases the ability of all educators to make the instructional changes needed for all students to be college-prepared and career-ready. Time Contractually Allotted for Professional Development for Teachers*
Note: * Schools often provided additional professional development time based on specific school-site scheduling and budgetary decisions. |
