Welcome to Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School Principal’s Message Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School (formally known as Alliance College Ready Academy High School #4) is a fully accredited high school. We opened in September 2006, with 164, 9th graders have since expanded to 440, 9th-12th grade students for the 2010-2011 school year.
In a short amount of time, we have been able to establish a culture of relationship building and success. We are a small school with staff dedicated to the personal and academic betterment of each student. The culture of the school begins with the activities found in the Advisory classes, which allow for rigor and relationships. This theme continues throughout the day, as students go from class to class. All of the students, parents, and staff are dedicated to our mission of college-readiness, and this dedication sets us apart.

Parent Involvement At Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School, we realize that student success is not only measured through academic achievement, but in ensuring that our students are adequately prepared for the future. Parental support and involvement are key components in students’ academic success that are essential for parents to be fully knowledgeable about preparing their children for college. Parents of AOMHS students are asked to be meaningfully and actively engaged in their children’s education. Parents are responsible and accountable for supporting their children’s learning at school and at home through their participation in understanding what it will take for their children to achieve college-readiness. Parents have an active voice in achieving the goals of the school and are able to participate in this process through monthly parent advisory meetings. Parents are required to fulfill 40 hours of volunteer service to the school. This is done in a variety of ways, including chaperoning field trips, participation in monthly workshops and advisory meetings, providing campus assistance during lunch/nutrition and arrival/dismissal, and participation in parent/teacher conferences.
The contact for parent involvement is Nancy Chavez and she can be reached at: (213) 342-2870. A quick snapshot of our parent involvement can be seen in the accompanying table, and can also be found in the School Performance Dashboard located at the end of this report. Parent Involvement

School Environment A key factor to learning is the environment we create for our students. At Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School, we understand that students cannot learn if they do not feel safe or if their classrooms are not adequate. This is why our students’ safety is one of our main concerns, along with providing them with large, open classrooms and school sites. Safety AOMHS is a small campus with a student to staff ratio of 10 to 1. Therefore, students have adequate supervision during the school day as well as before and after school. Additionally, parent volunteers are found on the campus to provide extra supervision during nutrition, lunch, arrival and dismissal. Because the campus is so small, classified and certificated staff can easily monitor the campus during all operating hours.
Visitors must enter the campus through a locked gate. An intercom system allows the office staff to inquire their identity and purpose for the visit. Once given access to enter the campus, visitors are required to check in the office and are given a visitor’s badge. The key elements of the School Safety Plan are procedure and policy for emergency situations. Also included are procedures for yearly emergency drills, including fire, earthquake, and school lockdowns. Additionally, the School Safety Plan outlines suspendable and expellable offences. The plan is updated every year and shared each summer during professional development with the staff. Students are informed of the plan at the beginning of the school year during grade-level orientation assemblies. Steps taken to prepare for emergencies include the annual updating of the school safety plan, purchasing of equipments, such as flashlights, water, and emergency supply kits, and maintaining a secured campus.
Suspensions and Expulsions School safety is further reinforced with discipline. The chart below displays suspension and expulsion rates for our school for the last 3 years. Disruptive behavior is monitored and is not tolerated at our school since it distracts students from learning and performing to the best of their abilities.

Facilities The condition of our facilities is determined using the Facilities Inspection Tool, issued by the Office of Public School Construction. The table below displays the results of the most recently completed school site inspection, determining our school’s good repair status. The campus of AOMHS is only three years old. The grounds are kept clean and free of any hazards by the two full-time custodians and parent volunteers, who work to beautify the campus regularly. Restrooms are tidy and the landscaping of the grounds is maintained weekly.
Various improvements occurred throughout the 2008-2009 school year to accommodate our increasing student population. Six additional classes were added to the campus. These classes house a number of our new classes, such as our 12th grade Advanced Placement classes. Additionally, a computer lab equipped with SMARTBOARDS, photography equipment, and 30 individual computers was added. The school also has a full gym with elliptical machines, treadmills, and weight machines. The gym was added in 2007.

How Is Our School Performing? School performance and progress are measured in a variety of ways. Standardized tests and student performance are all used to calculate the Academic Performance Index, Academic Yearly Progress, and State and Similar School Ranks each year. We additionally look at student graduation and cohort matriculation as measures of our own success since successfully preparing students to graduate college within 5 years is our main goal. Academic Performance Index (API) The API is a single number, ranging from 200-1000, that reflects a school’s or a subgroup’s performance level, based on the results of statewide testing. Its purpose is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. The API was established by the Public Schools Accountability Act of 1999, a landmark state law that created a new academic accountability system for K-12 public education in California. A school’s API is calculated using student results from the California Standards Tests (CST) and the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) for continuing high schools. Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School’s API for 2010-2011 was 894. The 2010-2011 school year was started with a base API of 882. Historical API growth can be seen in the chart below, and additional information regarding API can be found on the CDE DataQuest website.
Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School School Accountability Report Card for 2010-‐2011

API scores are further used to calculate State and Similar School Rankings. The state gives all schools a ranking on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest). The Similar Schools Ranking is given on a comparison scale of 100 schools of similar student population and demographics. Information regarding our school rankings for the 2010-2011 school year will not be available until April of 2012, as these scores are not calculated until one full year has passed.

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and Program Improvement (PI) AYP is a series of annual academic performance goals established for each school, district, and the state as a whole. Schools, LEAs, and the state are determined to have met AYP if they meet or exceed each year’s goals (AYP targets of participation and proficiency performance). AYP is required under Title I of the federal ESEA. States commit to the goals of ESEA by participating in Title I, a program under ESEA that provides funding to help educate low-income children. The primary goal of Title I is for all students to be proficient in ELA and Mathematics, as determined by state assessments, by 2014. For middle schools and high schools with only grade nine students, AYP is calculated based on CST performance. For high schools, AYP is calculated based on the performance on the CAHSEE grade 10 census administration. 95% of all students and significant subgroups must participate in the administration. Schools must also earn an API score of 680 or higher or increase their score from last year by one point. If a school fails to meet any of the criteria, it does not meet AYP. Schools that do not make AYP for two or more years in a row will be put on a Program Improvement (PI) plan, offer student transfers to other schools, and provide additional instructional support services. The table below shows our school’s AYP and PI statuses over the last 3 years.

Testing California Standards Test (CST) Students are required to take the California Standards Test each year. The results provide information regarding the progress and potential of our student body. California standards are considered to be some of the most rigorous in the country and can be further explored on the California Content Standards page on the CDE website. Our CST results are also matched up against other similar schools to compare how our students perform in comparison to others in the state of California. The CSTs include tests on English Language Arts (grades 2-11), Math (grades 2-11), Science (grades 5, 8-11), and History Social-Science (grades 8-11).
Below you will find our student’s proficiency performance for the last 3 years on all CST subjects tested at our school. All student assessment results are displayed in one of five proficiency bands used to measure student progress. The five bands are Advanced, Proficient, Basic, Below Basic, and Far Below Basic. Our immediate goal is to annually move students up one performance band. The tables on the next page show the percent of our students who scored at the Proficient or Advanced level in content area subjects. Additional grade-level results and other information regarding the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program and CST can be found on the STAR website (http://www.startest.org).

California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) High school students are required to pass the California High School Exit Exam as a graduation requirement. The results of this exam are also used to determine student proficiency levels that are used in AYP calculations. Proficiency level designations should not be confused with pass rates, as the criteria for passing the CAHSEE are at a slightly lower standard than those required to meet proficiency. Students are required to pass, but are encouraged to score at the Proficient or Advanced level. If a student does not pass the first administration in grade 10, he has two additional chances to retake and pass in grade 11 and between 3-5 opportunities in grade 12. Additional information about the CAHSEE can be found on the CAHSEE website. Below is a table representing our school’s CAHSEE pass rates for the last 3 years. Also displayed is a table showing CAHSEE results for Grade 10 students by student group for the most recent year of testing.

Physical Fitness Exam (PFT) The PFT is a required performance exam for students in grades 5, 7, and 9 that tests state fitness standards. Students are tested in six areas: aerobic capacity, body composition, abdominal strength, trunk extension strength, upper body strength and flexibility. Detailed information regarding the test and comparisons of school results statewide can be found on the Physical Fitness Testing page through DataQuest on the CDE website.
School Completion Dropout and Graduation Rates A dropout is defined as any student who left our school before the end of the 2008-2009 school year and did not re-enroll in another school for the 2009-2010 school year. The graduation rate is calculated by the number of students who have met all graduation requirements in four years by the last day of instruction for the 2009-2010 school year. These percentages are displayed in comparison to those of schools in the state. Further information and statewide school comparisons regarding graduation rates can be found under the Student Demographics menu on the CDE DataQuest site. Below you can find information regarding Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School’s dropout rate for the most recent school year and graduation rate for all applicable years.

College Readiness Indicators Our overarching goal is to prepare our students for college by graduating them with a comprehensive grasp of knowledge in core content areas and ensuring that they are on the correct track for post-secondary education. All students must fulfill A-G requirements to graduate. Advanced Placement and Early Assessment Program Advanced Placement courses allow students to develop skills and experience a higher level of learning that better prepares them for college. The numbers below show the percent of students who scored a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP exam and could potentially earn college credit. Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School offered 8 Advanced Placement courses in 2010-2011. The Early Assessment Program additionally tests students’ level of college-readiness and helps them develop certain skills in their senior year. The table shows the percent of students who have been determined college-ready. Career Technical Education Programs We at Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School believe that our curriculum must be teamed with other components to prepare students for post-secondary education both in and out of the classroom. Although we do not currently offer any Career Technical Education Programs, students may take them at nearby colleges.

Materials for Success Textbooks Due to the rigor and continuity of yearlong testing, it is important to make sure our students have access to materials that properly align with California Content Standards. We do our best to provide additional resources that will facilitate higher levels of learning. In the Appendix, you will find a table that displays information regarding the quality, currency, availability, and length of adoption for all instructional materials used at our school. Science Laboratory Classes Many of our science courses require students to actively conduct experiments, a fact that we do our best to support by providing them with ample resources in the form of science labs and equipment. Below is a table that shows the science subject areas our labs are equipped to support. While reviewing, it is important to note that there is no state standard regarding science labs. We rely on the authority of our school administration to make governing decisions about approving standards for equipping our students with science labs.

School Finances and Instructional Planning Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High School receives funding each year from local, state, and federal government sources. These are strategically distributed to ensure that all of our values, goals, and student needs are met. Comparisons below are made to evaluate our school’s expenditures per student with those throughout the state. The budget also includes teacher and administrator salaries. State education funding represents the largest percentage of funding and is based on the average daily attendance of the school. AOMHS receives federal funding from Title 1 for low income students and from the federal nutrition program to fund school breakfasts and lunches. Other state and local funding includes state special education program funding and other smaller revenue sources. The bulk of AOMHS’s revenues are used for general operating expenditures such as personnel salaries, facilities costs, and instructional technology and materials. Funding is also used to pay for intervention programs, such as after-school and Saturday tutoring.
Expenditures Spending per Student While we have various resources for funding, state education funding is the largest apportionment and is based on student daily attendance. Funding is also divided into two categories: unrestricted and restricted. Unrestricted funds can be used for any lawful purpose, while restricted funds must be allocated to specific areas determined by the donor. Title I funding, for example, is allotted from the federal nutrition program to provide our students with breakfast and lunches. Cost per student for each category of funding can be seen in the table below. Further information regarding school expenditures can be found on the CDE Current Expense of Education & Per-Pupil Spending web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/fd/ec.

Instructional Planning Teachers participate in a 5-day professional development seminar before the opening of school. Ongoing professional and personal growth opportunities are conducted on a weekly basis at the school site. Teachers analyze student achievement data and identify student growth needs and interests. Teachers benefit most from professional development that provides time for teacher-to-teacher interaction in small learning communities focused on classroom practice. Our teachers have ongoing regular time for common planning, analysis of student work, and unit study based on core content standards. Teachers use instructional guides in core content areas and use data from quarterly benchmark assessments to re-teach low performing content standards.
