The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) contains information about the
condition and performance of each California public school. More information about
SARC requirements is available at the California Department of Education (CDE) Web
site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. For additional information about the

Education (SCOE).
Principal’s Message
Elinor Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School is a
community school dedicated to helping at-risk
youth reach their full potential academically,
behaviorally, and socially in a small school
setting. While the focus at Elinor Lincoln
Hickey Jr./Sr. High School is academic
success, teachers and staff understand that
before learning can take place we must
address the deeper issues that prevented
success in the past. By first building positive relationships with our students, we are
able to provide educational supports that empower our students to recover academic
credit, gain workforce readiness skills, and ultimately graduate from high school. In
addition to strong behavioral support, each student has an individualized Student
Success Plan that is created to help set realistic goals that they can accomplish while
at our school. Our students receive data driven instruction designed to accelerate
learning based on the student’s individual strengths. In addition to the SCOE school
staff our students are supported by two on-site probation officers who help meet
the wide range of student needs. Each student is encouraged to participate in
mentoring, athletics, Career Technical Education (CTE), assemblies, field trips,
career exploration/readiness, and academic tutoring. ~ Lisa Alcalá
School Description and Mission
Elinor Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School, formerly Leo A. Palmiter Community
School, was renamed in 2006 in recognition of Elinor Lincoln Hickey who was a
longtime local educator, advocate for at-risk youth and SCOE Area I Trustee. Elinor
Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School is located adjacent to the Leo A. Palmiter Jr./Sr.
High School campus and serves students in grades 7-12, who are referred by school
districts, the Probation Department, or the School Attendance Review Board (SARB).
Our curriculum is aligned to academic and performance standards adopted by the
California State Board of Education, and is infused with CTE to provide relevant
learning experiences for each student. Our mission is to address the needs of
students who have not been successful in traditional school settings. We treat each
student with dignity and respect and create an environment where students thrive.
Students typically attend the program for two semesters before returning to their
home district or completing their education with a high school diploma or by
passing a California high school equivalency exam.
Parental/Guardian Involvement
Research shows that strong parental/guardian involvement leads to student success
at school. Parent(s)/guardian(s) interested in partnering with the school are
encouraged to contact Elinor Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School for additional
information regarding becoming a member of the School Site Council or
participating in other school and district advisory meetings. For more information
on parental/guardian involvement, contact Principal Lisa Alcalá at 916-228-2074.

“An unknown author said,
‘Education is not the
filling of a pail, but the
lighting of a fire.’ I believe
that the staff at Elinor
Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High
School has embraced this
philosophy. They strive to
meet the individual needs
of each student and help
both the student and the
student’s family embrace
school and see a positive
future. We want our
students to experience
success whether it be
returning to a
comprehensive school or
graduating with us and
then entering the
workforce or continuing
on to postsecondary
education and training.”

SCOE’s Local
Accountability System
In addition to the state
accountability provided
through the Public Schools
Accountability Act (PSAA)
and the federal
accountability authorized
by the ESEA, SCOE has
implemented local
accountability measures
that are uniquely adapted
for alternative school
settings serving high-risk
student populations.
SCOE’s local accountability
measures include
indicators of learning
readiness, academic
achievement, and
educational transition.
The learning readiness
indicator is measured
through the use of
attendance data.
The 2015-2016 academic
achievement indicators
were measured with the
Renaissance Learning tests
in reading and
mathematics and through
credits earned.
The educational transition
indictor is measured
through successful
transitions either through
high school graduation,
completion of a high
school equivalency test, or
a return to another high
school.

Federal Intervention Program (School Year 2016-2017)
Schools and LEAs receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement
(PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area
(English-language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (graduation
rate). After entering PI, schools and LEAs advance to the next level of
intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Information
about PI including revisions to the PI status determinations can be found at the
CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ti/programimprov.asp.

Meaningful dropout rates and four-year graduation rates cannot be calculated

This table displays the 12th grade completion rate which is calculated by taking
the number of students who met all state and local graduation requirements
