The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. All data are reported for the school-year, unless otherwise indicated. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC webpage at For additional information about this school, please contact the school administration at Our Vision Columbia School District schools are safe, well maintained, exciting, stimulating and success oriented. The level of pride and accomplishment is quite evident. Everyone has a high sense of responsibility, sense of good values, positive behavior and moral conscience and holds him/herself accountable for their actions and the choices he/she makes. Adults are visible and accessible to students. Communication is open, friendly and caring. Students come prepared, eager to participate and devoted to learning because they believe in themselves. Parents take an active role in their children s education by teaching their children values and good work ethics at home and by collaboratively working with the school staff. Mission Statement The mission of our school district is to ensure learning for all no limits, no excuses. We do this by building positive relationships, maintaining high expectations, creating relevance, providing more time and support, meeting the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and moral needs of our children and by being persistent and passionate about children. School Profile Mountain View Middle School is located at 675 Shasta View Drive in Redding, California in a semirural to rural area, although there are several subdivisions within the district boundaries that have contributed to rapid growth during the middle and late 1990 s. We are fortunate to have two college campuses located within our district, Shasta College, a two-year community college, and Simpson University, a private four-year college. We maintain a positive relationship with both schools and often have student teachers from Simpson. Mountain View Middle School offers a setting for students that encourages academic excellence and traditional values. We work to maintain a safe, positive learning environment, and parents and community members are welcomed and encouraged to become an integral part of our learning community. Our middle school includes grades 5,6,7 and 8, and an enrollment of 425 students. We have fourteen regular classroom teachers, 1.5 P.E. teachers, Special Day Class teacher, Resource Specialist teacher, Music Teacher, and an on-site Opportunity Teacher, funded through the County Office of Education. We also share a Counselor (LCSW) and share one Speech Therapist. Our students are housed in a combination of permanent and portable classrooms which are well maintained. Our portable buildings offer the same amenities to students and teachers as a permanent classroom School Accountability Report Card for Mountain View Middle School Page 1 of 8

High School credit is given for students who take Algebra and Spanish classes and pass the placement test(s). Mountain View provides instrumental music instruction in both band and string instruments. The instruction is sequential and adheres to the National and State Music Standards. Currently the school has an intermediate band and advanced band for all interested students. Our strings program incorporates violins, cellos and acoustic bass. Mountain View has a show choir program that integrates singing and dance. All ensembles perform regularly and have participated in community events such as parades and music festivals. Opportunities for Parental Involvement Our school enjoys a very positive support from our parents and community. We have an involved Mountain View Parent Club who provide activities for students and parents alike all during the school year. Our School Site Council plays an active role in developing and reviewing curriculum as well as categorical programs/budgets. They conduct an annual survey of all staff and parents. The results of the surveys are used for continuous improvement.

3 School Safety Plan This section provides information about the school s comprehensive safety plan, including the dates on which the safety plan was last reviewed, updated, and discussed with faculty; as well as a brief description of the key elements of the plan. Safety of students and staff is a primary concern of Mountain View Middle School. The school is always in compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to hazardous materials and state earthquake standards. The School Site Safety plan was reviewed and updated by the School Site Council. All revisions were communicated to both the classified and certificated staff. The school s disaster preparedness plan includes steps for ensuring student and staff safety during a disaster. Fire and disaster drills are conducted on a regular basis throughout the school year. Lockdown drills are held as needed. Students are supervised before and after school, and during lunch and break periods by certificated and/or classified staff, as well as Administration. There is a designated area for student drop off and pick up. Visitors must check in at the main office for an identification badge and all staff have been directed to send visitors to the office if an adult is spotted on campus without a name tag. Substitutes wear ID badges. The key elements in the plan include types of drills, expected behaviors, assignments for staff, and procedures for different scenarios (i.e. intruder on campus, earthquake, fire, natural/civic disaster and evacuation). The plan includes who does what, where emergency supplies are and a detailed description of key staff duties and office staff responsibilities as well as procedure for releasing students, press releases and counseling needs, if any.

Staff members build teaching skills and concepts by participating in many conferences and workshops throughout the year, then sharing their experiences and knowledge with district colleagues. The district dedicated three SIP days to staff development annually for the past three years. The staff development activities for Columbia School district staff is driven by our district priorities which are: positive relationships, communication, student achievement, staff development, and facilities. Data from the previous year s State testing, benchmark assessments and other multiple measures are used for staff development days to bring in speakers/experts to help us with our continuous improvement. District committees for Math and Reading/Language Arts also meet twice annually to review data and curriculum. Staff development is delivered through our three Consortium/District Wide School Improvement Days (SIP). On SIP Days, teachers may attend conferences if appropriate. Monthly staff development occurs in meetings with the Principal and grade level department teams. Professional Learning Communities meet once a week. Individual mentoring and staff development occurs randomly as needed, for example in the areas of differentiated instruction or data interpretation. Teacher support is given through grade level articulation days, minimum day meetings, team and peer meetings, individual meetings and peer observations/walkthroughs School Accountability Report Card for Mountain View Middle School Page 4 of 8

6 Quality, Currency, Availability of Textbooks and Instructional Materials (School Year ) This section describes whether the textbooks and instructional materials used at the school are from the most recent adoption; whether there are sufficient textbooks and instruction materials for each student; and information about the school s use of any supplemental curriculum or non-adopted textbooks or instructional materials. Year and month in which data were collected: 9/17/2013 Mountain View Middle held a public hearing on September 17, 2013, and determined that each school within the district had sufficient and good quality textbooks, instructional materials, or science lab equipment pursuant to the settlement of Williams vs. the State of California. All students, including English learners, are given their own individual standards-aligned textbooks or instructional materials, or both, in core subjects for use in the classroom and to take home. Textbooks and supplementary materials are adopted according to a cycle developed by the California Department of Education, making the textbooks used in the school the most current available. Materials approved for use by the State are reviewed by all teachers and a recommendation is made to the School Board by a selection committee composed of teachers and administrators. All recommended materials are available for parent examination at the district office prior to adoption. The table displays information about the quality, currency, and availability of the standards-aligned textbooks and other instructional materials used at the school. Core Curriculum Area Reading/Language Arts The textbooks listed are from most recent adoption: Textbooks and Instructional Materials Yes Percent of students lacking their own assigned textbook: 0.0% Textbooks and Instructional Materials/Year of Adoption MacMillan/McGraw Hill Adopted 2012 Pearson Adopted 2012 Mathematics The textbooks listed are from most recent adoption: Yes Percent of students lacking their own assigned textbook: 0.0% Science The textbooks listed are from most recent adoption: Yes Percent of students lacking their own assigned textbook: 0.0% History-Social Science The textbooks listed are from most recent adoption: Yes Percent of students lacking their own assigned textbook: 0.0% McDougal Littell Adopted 2008 Glencoe/McGraw Hill Adopted 2006 Glencoe/McGraw Hill Adopted 2005 Note: Scores are not shown 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. The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including: California Standards Tests (CSTs), which include Englishlanguage arts (ELA) and mathematics (Math) in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science (H-SS) in grades eight, and nine through eleven. California Modified Assessment (CMA), an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards in ELA for grades three through eleven; mathematics for grades three through seven, Algebra I, and Geometry; and science in grades five and eight, and Life Science in grade ten. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), includes ELA and mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The assessments under the STAR Program show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. On each of these assessments, student scores are reported as performance levels. For detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the Percent of Students not tested, see the CDE STAR Results Web site at star.cde.ca.gov.

Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., state Academic Performance Index [API], federal Adequate Yearly Progress [AYP]), test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners. Academic Performance Index The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of state academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. For detailed information about the API, see the CDE API webpage at API Growth by Student Group Three-Year Comparison Group Actual API Change All Students at the School Black or African American American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Filipino Hispanic or Latino Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander White Two or More Races Socioeconomically Disadvantaged English Learners Students with Disabilities Academic Performance Index Ranks - Three-Year Comparison This table displays the school s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched similar schools. A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools School Accountability Report Card for Mountain View Middle School Page 7 of 8
