WASC Self-Study Report

This year Guajome will be hosting a WASC Visiting Committee as part of the school accredidation process. Guajome went through the WASC self-study process in 1996 and again in 1999 and 2005, with mid-term reviews in 2002 and 2008. The WASC Focus on Learning process has provided another opportunity for Guajome to examine and reflect on our school's progress and what needs to be improved in relation to student learning and the school's academic programs. As part of the review process, Guajome has produced a Self-Study Report for presentation to WASC. Our WASC visit is coming up soon (mid-April) and we will provide an update on the Visiting Committee's recommendations as soon as we can. Check back in April!

Academic Performance Index (API)

The Academic Performance Index (API) is a measurement of academic performance and progress of individual schools in California. A numeric API score ranges from a low of 200 to a high of 1000. The interim statewide API performance target for all schools is 800. A school's growth is measured by how well it is moving toward or past that goal. A school's score or placement on the API is designed to be an indicator of a school's performance level.

Academic Yearly Progress (AYP)

The AYP is a statewide accountability system mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which requires each state to ensure that all schools and districts make Adequate Yearly Progress based on requirements in 4 areas. For information on the requirements and more, please visit the California Department of Education website provided in the Links section of this page.

California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE)

The primary purpose of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) is to significantly improve student achievement in public high schools and to ensure that students who graduate from public high schools can demonstrate grade level competency in reading, writing, and mathematics. The CAHSEE has two parts: English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics. The ELA part addresses state content standards through grade ten. The mathematics part of the CAHSEE addresses state standards in grades six and seven and Algebra I.

Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)

The CST’s are a major component of the STAR program. The CST’s measure students' progress toward achieving California's state-adopted academic content standards, which describe what students should know and be able to do in each grade and subject tested.

School Accountability Report Card (SARC)

California public schools annually provide information about themselves to the community allowing the public to evaluate and compare schools for student achievement, environment, resources and demographics.
