2023 School Accountability Report Card

General Information about the School Accountability Report Card (SARC)

SARC Overview

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.

- For more information about SARC requirements and access to prior year

reports, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page at

https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.

- For more information about the LCFF or the LCAP, see the CDE LCFF web

page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.

- For additional information about the school, parents/guardians 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

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.

Internet 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.

School Facility Conditions and Planned Improvements

Overview

The District makes every effort to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional. To assist in this effort, the district uses

a facility survey instrument developed by the State of California Office of Public School Construction. The results of this survey

are available at the school office and at the district office.

Cleaning Process and Schedule

The district’s Board of Trustees has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the district. The Leadership Team works daily

with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school. The Piedmont Hills High School

community hosts annual campus beautification organized by students and staff.

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. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting,

and floors systems.

Age Of School Buildings

Although the main school campus was constructed in 1966, portable buildings have been added to accommodate

modernization as well as science, special education, and mathematics classes.

B. Pupil Outcomes (State Priority: Pupil Achievement)

B. Pupil Outcomes

State Priority: Pupil Achievement

The SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement

(Priority 4):

Statewide Assessments

(i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System

includes the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students in the general

education population and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language

arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven.

Only eligible students may participate in the administration of the CAAs. CAAs items are

aligned with alternate achievement standards, which are linked with the Common Core State

Standards [CCSS] for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities).

The CAASPP System encompasses the following assessments and student participation

requirements:

1. Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments and CAAs for ELA in grades three

through eight and grade eleven.

2. Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments and CAAs for mathematics in grades

three through eight and grade eleven.

3. California Science Test (CAST) and CAAs for Science in grades five, eight, and once

in high school (i.e., grade ten, eleven, or twelve).

College and Career Ready

The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the

requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University,

or career technical education sequences or programs of study.

2023 School Accountability Report Card Page 11 of 23 Piedmont Hills High School

Percentage of Students Meeting or Exceeding the State Standard on CAASPP

This table displays CAASPP test results in ELA and mathematics for all students grades three through eight and grade eleven

taking and completing a state-administered assessment.

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.

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.

2022-23 CAASPP Test Results in ELA by Student Group

This table displays CAASPP test results in ELA by student group for students grades three through eight and grade eleven taking

and completing a state-administered assessment.

ELA 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.

Double dashes (--) appear in the table when the number of students 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 number of students tested includes all students who participated in the test whether they received a score or not; however,

the number of students tested is not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement

level percentages are calculated using only students who received scores.

CAASPP Test Results in Science for All Students

This table displays the percentage of all students grades five, eight, and High School meeting or exceeding the State Standard.

Science test results include the CAST 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 CAST 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.

The number of students tested includes all students who participated in the test whether they received a score or not; however,

2023-24 School Safety Plan

With the implementation of SB 187 all schools in the ESUHSD are required to write and annually review the school’s

comprehensive safety plan. In addition to the process for the annual review of safety plans, SB 187 identifies the essential

elements of a comprehensive school safety plan. These elements include a site-based assessment of the current status of

school safety issues, school crime and appropriate strategies and programs that will provide or maintain a high level of school

safety. Piedmont Hills’ Comprehensive Safety Plan was reviewed and updated the Fall of 2021 and Winter of 2022 and was

approved by the School Site Council in March 2022 and the ESUHSD Board of Education. The entire plan is posted on the

school web site. Piedmont Hills endeavors to provide a safe, clean and comfortable learning environment for its students.

The campus is monitored throughout the day by school administration, campus monitor, advisors, and several teachers who

serve on the safety team. Monthly community partnership safety meeting are held with advisors, the APA, campus monitor, and

staff from nearby feeder schools to discuss safety issues which may impact our school communities. The school safety team is

comprised of the APA, advisors, campus monitor, teachers, students, and parents and meets to discuss campus safety issues.

Piedmont Hills High School is a closed campus and all visitors must check in at the administration building and receive a

visitors badge before entering campus.
