SARC Information
Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC), by
February 1st of each year. 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 Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual schoolVSHFL¿FJRDOVIRUDOOSXSLOVZLWKVSHFL¿FDFWLYLWLHVWRDGGUHVVVWDWHDQGORFDOSULRULWLHV$GGLWLRQDOO\GDWDUHSRUWHGLQD
LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.

Regular daily attendance is a priority at the school and is an important component of academic achievement.
Attendance, tardy, and truancy policies are clearly stated and consistently enforced.

Attendance is monitored very closely with follow up phone calls made daily by the school secretary. Parents are
advised of excessive absences through letters and, if necessary, parent conferences.
Those students who continue to exhibit excessive absences are directed to the appropriate authorities, including the
local Student Attendance Review Board (SARB).

The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that annually measures
the academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. The state has set 800 as
the API score that schools should strive to meet.
Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API Base score are ranked in ten categories of equal size
(deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high
school).
Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school to 100 other schools
with similar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1
(lowest) to 10 (highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similar schools.
Note: For 2014 and subsequent years, the statewide and similar schools ranks will no longer be
produced. The table displays the school’s API ranks and actual API point changes by student group for
the past three years.

Educational Choice Programs for Elementary Schools
CASTRO DI/DUAL IMMERSION
Give your child the gift of a second language! Families from across Mountain View enroll in
this unique enrichment program at Castro Elementary in which students learn to read, write,
and speak in both English and Spanish. In the DI Program, native English-speaking students
and native Spanish-speaking students are united in the same classroom, where they learn
both languages. Research about brain development shows that the most opportune time to
learn a second language is before age 10. In the DI Program, your child will: attain fluency
and literacy in Spanish and English; achieve State curriculum standards; enjoy a strong sense
of community and highly involved parent support; be stimulated by academic challenge and
the richness of a bilingual environment; be better prepared for the diversity of a multicultural
world.
The program extends from kindergarten through 5th grade. Students entering kindergarten
are eligible to enroll. Students entering 1st grade are eligible on a case-by-case basis.
Bi-literate students may enroll in grades 2nd-5th. School visit and language assessment is
required for all candidates.
Contact Castro Elementary at (650) 526-3590 or www.castro.mvwsd.org.
STEVENSON PACT/PARENT, CHILD, TEACHER
Stevenson aims to engage all students and ensure they realize their full potential as
independent thinkers, life-long learners and responsible citizens. Teachers and parents
collaborate extensively to deliver a rigorous, hands-on education. Parents spend an average
of two hours a week in their children’s classrooms, yielding many instructional benefits such
as small group hands-on math lessons, guided literacy circle discussions, and inquiry based
science experiments. We seek to go beyond traditional academic topics by including
integrated hands-on projects based on California Content Standards such as cooking and Arts
Focus. We understand that learning happens beyond the walls of the classroom and make a
concerted effort to plan experiences on regular field trips and in our outdoor classroom. If
you are interested in playing an integral part in your child's educational experience and value
a school that focuses on the whole child, enroll at Stevenson today!
Contact Stevenson Elementary School at (650) 903-6950 or www.stevenson.mvwsd.org.
