Ahwahnee High School maintains a safe and positive learning environment. The school has a set of behavior standards to which the students must adhere; violations are dealt with in a prompt manner. The staff and students respect each other.
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 monitor the area near the campus where students congregate to smoke and
possibly use other substances.
2.
Activities:
This area is closely monitored by staff and the sheriff’s deputy assigned to
the district. Students no longer
congregate in that area.
C.
School’s
Social Environment
1.
Goal:
To increase participation and involvement.
2.
Activities:
Adopt a portion of the sheriff’s department camp facility and work to maintain
it; field trips; trips to fine arts events.
D.
School’s
Culture
1.
Goal:
To develop programs that allow students to bond with each other.
2.
Activities:
Same as School’s Social Environment.
The
school has made excellent progress in meeting these key goals. Staff and students will be surveyed early in
the 2001-02 school year and the School Safety Plan will be revised and updated.
AHS
is a small school with a student/teacher ratio of no more than 10/1. The staff demands that students show respect
for themselves, their peers and the staff.
In turn, the staff respects the students. There are a well-known set or rules to which the students adhere. Students know the consequences of violating
those rules. Because of the size of the
school and the nature of the program, staff and students develop a close,
supportive relationship that helps promote a positive learning
environment. This year the school
adopted the playground area at a camp the Madera County Sheriff’s Department
operates in the area. The students take
pride in their work at that facility.
The number of suspensions and expulsions is the total number of incidents. The rate of suspensions and expulsions is the total number of incidents divided by the school’s California Basic Educational Data Systems (CBEDS) total enrollment for the given year.

Ahwahnee
High School is a two-room school composed of portable facilities that are
located adjacent to Yosemite High School.
There is an area where students can play basketball; there are computers
in the classrooms to which the students have access to complete their assignments. All computers are connected to the Internet.
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 Standard Tests (CST) in English Language Arts and Mathematics in grades 2-11and Science and History-Social Science in grades 9-11; and the Stanford Achievement Test, Ninth Edition (Stanford 9) which tests Reading, Language, Mathematics (grades 2-11), Spelling (Grades 2-8) and Science and History-Social Science (Grades 9-11 only). The Yosemite Joint Union High School District administers the Stanford 9 test to students in all of its schools.
Reading
and mathematics results from the Stanford 9 test are reported for each grade
level as the percentage 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. To protect privacy, the state
does not release scores based on 10 or fewer students; therefore, some scores
for AHS students are not made available.
All of the district’s alternative schools are participating with the
California Department of Education in developing and implementing the
Alternative School Accountability Model (ASAM).
