Form A: Planned Improvements in Student Performance The School Site Council has analyzed the academic performance of all student groups and has considered the effectiveness of key elements of the instructional program for students failing to meet academic performance index and adequate yearly progress growth targets. As a result, it has adopted the following school goals, related actions, and expenditures to raise the academic performance of students not yet meeting state standards:
Goal #1 School-Wide Focus on Academic Literacy
CUHS GOAL # 1: To improve instruction and student learning in English, with emphasis on reading, writing, listening, speaking and technology. By 2015 students will improve their proficiency level in English from 52% to 55% school-wide and all significant subgroups will earn 3% gains in English Language Arts Benchmark scores. By 2015 SHS will increase the passing rate by 5% as measured by the CAHSEE. CUHS ESLRs: Socially Conscious Problem Solvers Achievers in Academics, Arts and Extra-curriculars Responsible Technologically Literate Analytical Thinkers ALIGNS WITH: LEA GOAL 1A: All students will attain Proficiency in Reading/ELA. LCAP Priority areas # 2, 4 & 8: Implementation of CCSS: Implementation of California’s academic standards, including the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and math, Next Generation Science Standards, English language development, history social science, visual and performing arts, health education and physical education standards. Student Achievement in ELA. Performance on standardized tests, API, number of students college & career ready, number of students passing the Advance Placement exam with 3 or higher, number of students determined prepared for college by the Early Assessment Program (EAP). Other Student Outcomes – other indicators of student performance in required areas of study.
What data did you use to form this goal? CST ELA Proficient/Above 2014: N/A CAHSEE 2014: All: 57.1% (+1.1%) proficient/above, 85% passing (+1%) EL: 35.6% (+8.6%) proficient/above, 57% passing (no change)
What were the findings from the analysis of this data? All findings have indicated that the number of students achieving proficient/advanced has increased. Based on student achievement data , the staff has identified the need to continue to:
Provide and practice content specific literacy strategies in ALL courses
Create authentic, quarterly writing/presenting opportunities to real-world audiences.
How will the school evaluate the progress of this goal? Quarterly and annual program monitoring and evaluation- See specific steps and action dates.

Goal #2- First, Best Instruction in Mathematics & Science, Coupled with a Tiered System of Support and Intervention
CUHS Goal 2: To improve instruction and learning across the curriculum with emphasis on mathematics using data to drive the instruction. By 2016, all students attempting Algebra 1 for the first time will earn a 5% gain in Algebra 1 as measured by the math quarterly district benchmarks. By 2016, EL students, no matter the grade level, will earn a 5% gain in Algebra 1 as measured by the math quarterly district benchmarks scores. By 2016, the first time passing rate on the CAHSEE Math will increase to 90% (pending decision of CA to continue the CAHSEE administration).

What data did you use to form this goal? CST Math Proficient/Above 2014: N/A CST Algebra 1 English Learners: N/A CAHSEE 2014: All: 64.7% proficient/above (-1.2%), 87% passing (+2%) EL: 50.3% proficient/above (+4.2%), 63% passing (2%) SED: 61.1% proficient/above (-.1%), 84% passing (+2%) SPED: 27.1% proficient/above (-.4%), 34% passing (-4%)
What were the findings from the analysis of this data? All findings have indicated that the overall number of students achieving proficient/advanced in math has increased. However, students’ achievement in Algebra 1 and Geometry has decreased. EL students continue to struggle with Algebra 1. Based on student achievement data, the staff has identified the need to increase student academic achievement by:
Providing first best instruction in all mathematics courses
Providing a hands-on alternative to the traditional Algebra 1 course
Frequent identification of students who are at-risk
Acquiring technology resources and instructional materials to aid in pinpointing skills gaps and providing targeted support and intervention
Offering during the day support classes and after school tutoring and intervention.
How will the school evaluate the progress of this goal? Quarterly and annual program monitoring and evaluation- See specific steps and action dates.

SPSA ANNUAL EVALUATION Which activities funded by Title 1, Part A and EIA/SCE were successful at closing the achievement gap for our lowest-performing students?
Activities Results
Use of Title 1 lab in library building to run support classes and offer after school assistance
The students in support classes are able to utilize Study Island, Rosetta Stone, and other programs to improve language, math, and English skills. Students were successful in completing assignments for other classes thus increasing their grade and GPA.
Two periods of ELA 10 Support Increase in Students’ reclassification (CELDT)
Articulation with feeder schools (math) Teachers at both levels are now aware of the skills necessary for students to succeed at the higher level.
AVID tutors Students are very receptive to other adults who are not their teachers. Students who benefitted from AVID tutors raised their overall grade.
Title 1 Night Increase in parent awareness of programs available.
10th grade counseling meetings Increase in parent awareness and involvement.
Algebra 1 Intervention/PLC (7th period and after school)
Increase in students’ grades, mastery of standards, and GPA.
Tutors in Algebra I classes during 7th period Increase in at-risk students’ success in Algebra I; better retention of students for after school purposes.
RRR Math Summer Intervention Increase in students’ ability to receive individualized attention, master standards and pass class

Which activities funded by Title 1, Part A and EIA/SCE were not successful at closing the achievement gap for our lowest-performing students?
Activities Results
Administration of Diagnostic exams for Super Saturdays is questionable
Some teachers used data religiously to drive instruction; some did not use the data. Further discussions and analysis is needed to
CUHS SPSA 2015-2016 Page 40
determine value in continuing practice.
After-school tutorial in Library is questionable More research/analysis is needed to determine if students that attend tutoring have grown/made progress with their grades/GPA.
Which activities should be continued?
All the activities mentioned in # 1.
We will continue these with some changes:
a. Algebra I Intervention will be modified. Four teachers will be involved
rather than three. More tutors will be hired (throughout the day) to assist
with individual student needs. Teachers will receive more training and
more support from admin and support staff. Teachers will be reassigned.
More hands-on/relevant activities/projects will be a part of the
curriculum/instruction of the concepts.
Which activities should be further researched/analyzed?
After-school tutorial for math needs to be more consistent. Algebra 1 content team
will meet regularly and analyze data to determine which standards to reteach,
develop units and tests, and which students should attend.
Administration of Diagnostic exams for Super Saturdays is questionable
