School Accountability Report Card
Reported Using Data from the 2019-2020 School Year
California Department of Education

(Published During 2020-2021)

Joseph Le Conte Middle

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 and access to prior year reports, 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 the LCAP, see the CDE LCFF webpage at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.
• For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school principal or the district office.

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 This School

A.  Conditions of Learning

State Priority: Basic

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Basic State Priority (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.

Note: "Misassignments" refers to the number of positions filled by teachers who lack legal authorization to teach that grade level, subject area, student group, etc.

* Total Teacher Misassignments includes the number of Misassignments of Teachers of English Learners.

Note: Cells with N/A values do not require data.

Note: Not all of the cited maintenance deficiencies in this category have been repaired or mitigated to date, but have been reported via a Service Call and will be completed based on the priority, age and our resource availabilities.

B. Pupil Outcomes

State Priority: Pupil Achievement

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Pupil Achievement State Priority (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.

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.

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: The new California Science Test (CAST) was first administered operationally in the 2018-19 school year.

State Priority: Other Pupil Outcomes

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Other Pupil Outcomes State Priority (Priority 8):

• Pupil outcomes in the subject area of physical education.

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-56-20 was issued which waived the requirement for statewide testing for the 2019-2020 school year.

C.  Engagement

State Priority: Parental Involvement

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the Parental Involvement State Priority (Priority 3):

• Efforts the school district makes to seek parent input in making decisions for the school district and each school site.

State Priority: School Climate

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the School Climate State Priority (Priority 6):

• Pupil suspension rates;
• Pupil expulsion rates; and
• Other local measures on the sense of safety.

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.

D.  Other SARC Information

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.
