School Accountability Report Card
Reported Using Data from the 2019-2020 School Year
California Department of Education
(Published During 2020-2021)
John F. Kennedy High
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 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.

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. |

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.

Career Technical Education Programs (School Year 2019-20)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 46 of the 58 pathways. More than 400 pathways, taught by CTE credentialed teachers at various 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. Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) provides supplemental federal funds approximately $6 million annually to initiate, expand and improve career technical education programs leading to certification for employment in high-demand, high-wage occupations. Additionally there are 47 California Partnership Academies and 62 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 2019-20, over 57,000 students who participated in CTE classes. There are 165 A-G approved CTE courses are available for the CTE programs and 35 CTE courses are articulated with post-secondary institutions. In 2019-20 due to the school closures, the schools pivoted to remote teaching and learning. Students in CTE classes earned more than 3400 Industry Recognized Certifications such as Microsoft Office Specialist, Internet Core Competency Certification (IC3), Adobe Certified Associate, AutoCAD, Revit, and fusion 360, First Aid-CPR-AED, Serve Safe, Financial Literacy, OSHA, OSHA-Healthcare, OSHA-Employability, OSHA-Cyber Safety, Cisco Get Connected, Precision-Health Science Fundamentals, et cetera. 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 2019-20)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, evidence 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, supplemental instruction and intervention, parental involvement, personalization and support for students who are academically at risk. Title III funds are allocated to supplement the core language instruction educational programs to ensure English Learner (EL) students, including immigrant children and youth, achieve English proficiency and meet the same challenging state academic standards that other students are expected to meet. These support services must be based on evidence that demonstrates program effectiveness and may include effective professional development to teachers, principals, administrators, and other school or community-based organizational personnel. Professional development activities funded with Title III funds must be of sufficient intensity and duration to have a positive and lasting impact on teacher capacity to meet the instructional needs of English learners. Each local district determines how funds are distributed to school sites based on locally determined needs. Funds may be used to provide EL instructional coaches and professional development services.

Professional Development - Most Recent 3 YearsThe 2020-21 school year professional development was designed to deepen the knowledge of teachers and school leaders of priority Districtwide initiatives as identified through data analysis and input from schools. These initiatives focused on improving instruction and services to specific student groups through a multi-tiered system of supports. Some specific student groups identified through data include English Learners, Standard English Learners, and foster youth. Districtwide professional development included:
In addition, professional development that focused on 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 student groups. The primary focus of professional development within the District continues to be focused on effective first instruction. and tiered support for all students. 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 second grade; the implementation of the California English language development standards; 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.
