2 Every school in California is required by state law to publish a (SARC), by February 1 of each year. The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC Web page at For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page at that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district, the county, and the state. 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. Internet Access I. Data and Access Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents. Additional Information For further information regarding the data elements and terms used in the SARC see the Academic Performance Index Reports Information Guide located on the CDE API Web page at District Contact Information - Most Recent Year II.

3 School Description and Mission Statement Most Recent Year Central High School is the continuation high school that serves the Morgan Hill Unified School District. It offers a viable alternative to the traditional high school for many students and provides a personalized setting and smaller classes, emphasizing student success in a student-centered environment. We offer a unique opportunity for tenth through twelfth grade students to obtain a high school diploma in a warm, social atmosphere where the students needs come first. We offer a standards-based academic high school curriculum. Our semesters are divided into learning blocks of six weeks. Through classroom activities and outside-of-class contracts, students have an opportunity to earn additional credit so that they can make up lost credits and be on target to graduate. We use many means to assess student progress in addition to state standardized tests. These include homework completion, quizzes, tests and final exams, research papers, essays, multimedia projects, oral exams or presentations, and teacher observation. Our students compile a portfolio that includes their transcript and credit completion chart. Progress reports are mailed home every three weeks for all students. Report cards are mailed at the completion of every sixweek block. If a student is at risk of not graduating or if there are other problems with grades or behavior, we notify parents immediately. Students and parents can always contact teachers via voic or for more frequent progress checks. All of Central s teachers are either Cross-cultural Language and Academic Development (CLAD) certified or Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) trained. Our students who have achieved a basic level of English proficiency are placed in regular classrooms since they achieved a basic level of comprehension. We encourage our parents of English learners to join our ELAC. We depend on the ELAC to help improve and expand our English Language Development (ELD) program as our English learner population continues to grow. We have one part-time counselor who conducts sessions for students who have a substance abuse issues, or other concerns, as needed. The local community college (Gavilan College in Gilroy) guides students and their families through the college admissions process. Community Solutions runs an anger management group and a physical abuse group in addition to making regular presentations to the student body and to faculty. Our district nurse and psychologist both work as needed. We have a CAL-SOAP representative and a part-time academic counselor that aids students with college and post-secondary services and offerings. Our students are eligible to attend the Regional Occupational Program (ROP) offerings at the two other traditional high schools in our district during school hours. Central also offers 3 periods of ROP in computer science. They can concurrently enroll in the Community Adult School to enhance their credit requirements for graduation. Central also provides a program for those students who need to pass the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) in English and Math. We have a part-time (60-percent) Resource Specialist Program (RSP) teacher who works with our special education students. Students in this program have resource as one of their classes and meet with the resource teacher for general support. These students may have dyslexia, auditory or visual processing problems, autistic tendencies, or significant discrepancies between ability and performance as determined through diagnostic tests. The RSP teacher communicates with regular classroom teachers about student progress and keeps them aware of any accommodations the resource student needs, such as more time to complete assignments or a lighter reading load. The resource teacher holds a meeting with the student, another teacher, the principal, and the student s parents once a year to update the student s Individualized Education Program (IEP). Central students abide by our district s strict behavior code, which we send home to parents to review with their student at the beginning of the year. The principal reviews Central s Code of Conduct with our students the first week of school during class. Students who are disruptive or disrespectful are referred to meet with the principal. Students with chronic behavior problems work with our principal, staff members, and their parents to make a behavior contract. Elements might include suspension from dances and extracurricular activities, campus cleanup, counseling, and participation in our anger management or substance abuse support groups. We expel students for major crimes such as assault or possession of narcotics or weapons. We promote a positive school climate by encouraging students to become involved in our school activities. Our classes provide the appropriate level of challenge for a range of abilities. We also have safety nets in place such as access to local resources such as Community Solutions. Challenges in the coming year include accommodating our rapidly increasing enrollment. We also want to increase our graduation rate for credit-eligible students and help those students who have not passed California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE).

Staff development days are devoted to aligning our curriculum to state standards, learning how to analyze standardized test results, exploring techniques for engaging students of different ability levels, and discussing the latest research in teenage development and its application to high school. Teachers and administrators look at test scores and review the most pressing issues from the previous year to choose specific topics. Additional trainings were held on ways to include English learners in the regular classroom. 1/16/2015 Powered by SchoolCity, Inc Page 16 of 16
