School Description and Mission Statement

Evergreen High School is an independent study school serving grades 9-12 in Eastern Madera County.  It is a part of the Yosemite Joint Union High School District and is located adjacent to Yosemite High School in Oakhurst.  Evergreen has one classroom.  There is a kitchen, restroom and a nursery for the students’ babies.   The students have access to computers in the classroom and use them on a regular basis to complete their assignments. There are also laptop computers available for the students to check out to take home.  The computers are connected to the Internet. Students transfer to Evergreen High School from Yosemite High School for a variety of personal reasons; some remain at EHS and graduate from there; others return to YHS to complete their schooling.  Students spend a portion of one day a week at the school; the rest of their work is done at home.  They are able to call the teachers on an as-needed basis and they can also communicate with them via e-mail.

 

There is a play area at the school for the children of the students.  The equipment was donated by a local resident.  Community volunteers baby-sit for the young children while their mother or father is at school.

 


District Vision Statement

Connecting all students with their past, present, and future, the Yosemite Joint Union High School District will be a community of  responsible young adults cooperatively learning creative problem solving skills to help them achieve their full potential as life-long learners, citizens, and workers.

 

THROUGH INVOLVEMENT IN THE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM AND SOCIAL PREPARATION IN THE YOSEMITE JOINT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT, STUDENTS WILL DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO:

II. School Safety and Climate for Learning

School Safety Plan

 Date of Last Review/Update

  2003

 Date Last Discussed with Staff

2003

 Evergreen High School maintains a safe and positive learning environment.  Students are on the campus one day a week with varied schedules.  Because of the limited amount of time each student spends at the site, there is not a lot of opportunity for interaction.  The climate for learning is very positive.  Students work one-on-one with their teacher and they receive a lot of encouragement and positive reinforcement.  The students are very focused and self motivated.

 

School Safety Plan

Key elements of the School Safety Plan include:

 

A.                 Personal Characteristics of Students and Staff

1.                  Goal: To help students overcome alcohol and other drug abuse.

2.                  Activities: Create a program to help students with their substance abuse.  Students may attend smoking cessation programs and may meet with a counselor to deal with substance abuse issues.

B.                 School’s Physical Environment

1.                  Goal: To increase the safety of the campus at night.

2.                  Activities: Outside lights have been installed

C.                 School’s Social Environment

1.                  Goal: To increase participation and involvement.

2.                  Activities: Get parents more involved in the school through field trips and various activities.

D.                 School’s Culture

1.                  Goal: To enhance student affiliation and bonding.

2.                  Activities: Plan group activities of a social nature.

 

The school has made excellent progress in meeting these key goals.  Staff and students will be surveyed in the spring of 2005 and the School Safety Plan will be revised and updated as needed.


School Programs and Practices that Promote a Positive Learning Environment

 EHS is a small school with a high staff/student ratio.  Because so much of the work is one-on-one with a teacher, the students develop a close relationship with that teacher.  There is very much an atmosphere of mentoring that the students find rewarding.  Each student has their own education plan and the staff works with him or her to assure their success.  Students know what work they must accomplish in a semester and they work at their own pace to complete the assignments.  Students must assume a great deal of responsibility for their own education, however they do receive considerable support from the staff.


Suspensions and Expulsions
Data reported are the number of suspensions and expulsions (i.e., the total number of incidents that result in a suspension or expulsion). The rate of suspensions and expulsions is the total number of incidents divided by the school's total enrollment as reported by CBEDS for the given year. In unified school districts, a comparison between a particular type of school (elementary, middle, high) and the district average may be misleading. Schools have the option of comparing their data with the district-wide average for the same type of school.

School Facilities
Safety, cleanliness, and adequacy of school facilities, including any needed maintenance to ensure good repair. Description of the condition and cleanliness of the school grounds, buildings, and restrooms.

The district takes great efforts to assure that all schools are clean, safe and functional. To assist in this effort, the district will be using a facility survey instrument developed by the State of California Office of Public School Construction. This survey will be completed by July 2005. The results of this survey will be available after July at the school office, the district office or on the Internet at www.yosemiteuhsd.com

 

Age of School Buildings: 

Evergreen High School is a one classroom portable facility. The original portable was put on the site in 1992.

 

Maintenance and Repair:

District maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order are completed in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are given the highest priority.

 

There are currently no emergency facility needs at the school.

 

Cleaning Process and Schedule:

The director of maintenance, operations and transportation is a member of the district management team and is in daily contact with the operations facilitator and the custodial supervisor to ensure an efficient cleaning process and schedule. The staff works together to ensure a clean and safe school.

 

Deferred Maintenance Budget:

The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program which provides state matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. For the 2004-05 school year, the district has budgeted $200,000 for the deferred maintenance program. This represents less than one percent of the district’s general fund budget. Deferred maintenance projects in the district include floor covering, heating and air conditioning, painting and paving,


III. Academic Data

Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, students in grades 2-11 are tested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests (CST) and a norm-referenced test (NRT). The CST tests English-language arts and mathematics in grades 2-11, science in grades 5, 9, 10, and 11, and history-social science in grades 8, 10, and 11. The NRT tests reading, language, and mathematics in grades 2-11, spelling in grades 2-8, and science in grades 9-11.

California Standards Tests (CST)
The California Standards Tests (CST) show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets state standards), Basic (approaching state standards), Below Basic (below state standards), and Far Below Basic (well below state standards). Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level meet state standards in that content area. Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level meet state standards in that content area. Students with significant cognitive disabilities who are unable to take the CST are tested using the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). Detailed information regarding CST and CAPA results for each grade and proficiency level can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov or by speaking with the school principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.

Norm-Referenced Test (NRT)
Reading and mathematics results from the California Achievement Test, Sixth Edition (CAT-6), the current NRT adopted by the State Board of Education, are reported for each grade level as the percent of tested students scoring at or above the 50th percentile (the national average). School results are compared to results at the district and state levels. The CAT-6 was adopted in 2003; therefore, no data are reported for 2002. Detailed information regarding results for each grade level can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov/ or by speaking with the school principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.

Academic Performance Index (API)

The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1000 that annually measures the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. On an interim basis, the state has set 800 as the API score that schools should strive to meet.

Growth Targets: The annual growth target for a school is 5 percent of the distance between its Base API and 800. The growth target for a school at or above 800 is to remain at or above 800. Actual growth is the number of API points a school gained between its base and growth years. Schools that reach their annual targets are eligible for awards. Schools that do not meet their targets and have a statewide API rank of one to five are eligible to participate in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program (II/USP), which provides resources to schools to improve their academic achievement. There was no money allocated to the II/USP Program in 2002 or 2003.

Subgroup APIs and Targets: In addition to a schoolwide API, schools also receive API scores for each numerically significant subgroup in the school (i.e., racial/ethnic subgroups and socioeconomically disadvantaged students). Growth targets, equal to 80 percent of the school's target, are also set for each of the subgroups. Each subgroup must also meet its target for the school to be eligible for awards.

Percent Tested: In order to be eligible for awards, elementary and middle schools must test at least 95 percent of their students in grades 2-8 and high schools must test at least 90 percent of their students in grades 9-11 on STAR.

Statewide Rank: Schools receiving a Base API score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from one (lowest) to ten (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school).

Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from one (lowest) to ten (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to schools most like it.

API criteria are subject to change as new legislation is enacted into law. Detailed information about the API and the Public Schools Accountability Act (PSAA) can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/ or by speaking with the school principal.

State Award and Intervention Programs

Although state intervention and awards programs are currently in the California Education Code, the programs were not funded for the period addressed by this report. Therefore, there are currently no data available to report.


Federal Intervention Programs
Schools receiving Title I funding enter federal Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for two consecutive years. After entering PI, schools advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Information about PI, including a list of all PI schools, can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/ or by speaking with the school principal.

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires that all students perform at or above the proficient level on the state's standards-based assessments by 2014. In order to achieve this goal and meet annual performance objectives, districts and schools must improve each year according to set requirements. A "Yes" in the following table displaying Overall AYP Status indicated that AYP was met for all students and all subgroups, or that exception criteria were met, or that an appeal of the school or district's AYP status was approved. Additional data by subgroup show whether all groups of students in the school and district made the annual measurable objectives for the percent proficient or above and the participation rate required under AYP. Detailed information about AYP can be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/ or by speaking with the school principal.

IV. School Completion (Secondary Schools)

California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)
Beginning with the graduating class of 2006, students in California public schools will have to pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to receive a high school diploma. The School Accountability Report Card for that year will report the percent of students completing grade 12 who successfully completed the CAHSEE.

These data are not required to be reported until 2006 when they can be reported for the entire potential graduating class. When implemented, the data will be disaggregated by special education status, English language learners, socioeconomic status, gender, and ethnic group.


Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate
Data reported regarding progress toward reducing dropout rates over the most recent three-year period include: grade 9-12 enrollment, the number of dropouts, and the one-year dropout rate as reported by CBEDS. The formula for the one-year dropout rate is (grades 9-12 dropouts divided by grades 9-12 enrollment) multiplied by 100. The graduation rate, required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), is calculated by dividing the number of high school graduates by the sum of dropouts for grades 9 through 12, in consecutive years, plus the number of graduates.

VI. Teacher and Staff Information

Core Academic Courses Not Taught by NCLB Compliant Teachers
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires that all teachers teaching in core academic subjects are to be "highly qualified" not later than the end of the 2005-06 school year. In general, NCLB requires that each teacher must have: (1) a bachelor's degree, (2) a state credential or an Intern Certificate/Credential for no more than three years, and (3) demonstrated subject matter competence for each core subject to be taught by the teacher. More information on teacher qualifications required under NCLB can be found at the California Department of Education's Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/nclb/sr/tq/.

For a school, the data reported are the percent of a school's classes in core content areas not taught by NCLB compliant teachers. For a district, the data reported are the percent of all classes in core content areas not taught by NCLB compliant teachers in all schools in the district, in high-poverty schools in the district, and in low-poverty schools in the district.

Teacher Evaluations

 Teacher evaluation is an on-going process because of the size of the school.  The principal is in the classroom on a frequent basis, observing the teacher in many and varied circumstances.  A formal evaluation is prepared annually.


Substitute Teachers

  During the 2003-04 school year there were several days when substitute teachers were not available.  Other teachers on staff or administrators covered classes.  In an effort to increase the number of substitute teachers in our pool, the Board increased the salary for long-term commitment in the same assignment.  The pay scale for substitute teachers is:

                                    $65                                          1-5 days

                                    $70                                          6-10 days

                                    $80                                          11-15 days

                                    $90                                          16-20 days

                                    $100                                        21 or more days


Counselors and Other Support Staff
EHS students have access to all district support staff, including a librarian, part-time nurse, and other employees of the Madera County Office of Education.

 

There are no academic counselors at EHS.  However, these students have transferred to EHS from Yosemite High School where they had access to the two counselors on staff.  The teachers and principal assist students with their academic issues


VII. Curriculum and Instruction

School
Instruction and Leadership

 The entire alternative education staff meets once a month with the principal.  They discuss curriculum, testing, senior projects, grants, technology and other issues that are pertinent.  The principal visits each of the alternative schools on a regular basis to meet with the staff and with the students, as needed.

 

The principal oversees the school instruction and provides the leadership for the school.


Professional Development

Facilitating continued positive professional growth for all teachers is a top priority for the Yosemite Joint Union High School District.  The district budgets in excess of $75,000 annually to support professional development. Each teacher and administrator is responsible for developing his/her own professional development plan.  Teacher plans are aligned with the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. This process calls for teachers to specify the kinds of inservice, coursework, or conferences that will help them address student instructional needs identified by student assessments.  The district is committed to helping each teacher obtain the kind of training he/she feels is necessary to achieve these objectives.

 

Two days of staff development were provided for each of the past three years.

Availability of Sufficient Standards-Aligned Textbooks and Other Instructional Materials
The availability of sufficient state-adopted (grades K-8) and standards-aligned (grades K-12) textbooks and other instructional materials for each pupil, including English learners, that are consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum frameworks adopted by the State Board of Education in the core curriculum areas of reading/language arts, mathematics, science, history-social science, foreign language, and health (for grades K to 12, inclusive); and science laboratory equipment (for grades 9 to 12, inclusive), as appropriate.

 

All students have all textbooks available for their needs and additional books are available for new students. No books are board adopted. There has been a recent change in administration and we are currently revising curriculum; each course is being re-written and new texts proposed. The course descriptions and textbooks will be presented to the board of trustees for adoption in the near future.

 

Instructional Minutes
The California Education Code establishes a required number of instructional minutes per year for each grade. Data reported compares the number of instructional minutes offered at the school level to the state requirement for each grade.

 

Evergreen High School students are assigned 300 minutes of work per day, for 180 days per year.  This totals 54,000 minutes per year.  The state requirement is 32,940 minutes per year.  The students do not spend the 300 minutes per day in class, but are assigned work that requires that amount of time.  Attendance is based on completion of work.
