La Tijera K-8 Academy of Excellence Charter SchoolSARC 2
Principal’s MessageLa Tijera K-8 Academy of Excellence Charter School is dedicated to building a safe, compassionate com-munity of lifelong learners who are inspired to become respectful, responsible, cooperative, innovative and productive citizens. We envision a structured 21st century community of learners who are caring and respect-ful, hardworking and responsible, collaborative and cooperative, and actively participating in their education. Our school and district share a common focus for the quality education we provide for every student and will be continuing our work with the Common Core State Standards as the framework for this focus. La Tijera has high expectations for all students and will provide quality instruction while assisting every student in reaching his or her full potential.
La Tijera offers many opportunities for the whole child. We have had very successful years in both boys’ and girls’ basketball and girls’ volleyball. Our school has multiple productions throughout the year, including a Holiday Performance, the Black History Month Performance and an annual school play. La Tijera students participate in character-building clubs, such as Debutantes and Gents and Peer Mediation, and our ever-growing music program teaches the recorder and the keyboard. Addressing the whole student has helped La Tijera become a successful and important member of the community.
School Accountability Report Card
In accordance with state and federal requirements, the School Accountability
Report Card (SARC) is put forth annually by all public schools as a tool for parents and interested parties to stay informed of
the school’s progress, test scores and achievements.
Parental InvolvementWe have many ways for parents to participate in the life of our school, and we depend on parents to keep our programs running smoothly. Parents may join our School Site Council (SSC), which works with administration and staff to help make financial decisions. Parents of English learners are a part of the English Language Advisory Council (ELAC). Parent volunteers help with special projects in the classroom and chaperone on field trips. All parent volunteers are invited to a parent field trip at the end of the year. We ask all parents to attend and participate in all school activities such as Career Day, Read Across America, back-to-school night in the fall, open house in the spring and parent-teacher conferences in November.
For more information on how to become involved, please contact Mrs. Subrina Miller, community liaison, at (310) 680-5260 and [email protected], or Mrs. Stephanie Fortunato, ELAC and SSC coordinator, at [email protected].
School SafetySecurity and staff monitor the school during school hours and before and after school. Teachers regularly review the rules for safe, responsible behavior in school and on the playground. We have a closed campus that is fully fenced in. Visitors must stop by the main office to sign in and receive a badge to wear throughout their stay.
We revise our school safety plan annually. The plan includes procedures for natural catastrophes, emergencies and exit routes. The plan also includes inventories of emergency supplies and is available in the office for all stakeholders to review. The plan is shared with all staff during a schoolwide meeting. Fire drills are held monthly and earthquake drills quarterly. The school safety plan was most recently reviewed and updated in January 2017.
Vision StatementThe vision of the Inglewood Unified
School District is to provide a learning environment that empowers all students to acquire the academic and social skills
needed to become productive citizens and lifelong learners in a global economy.
Mission StatementThe mission of the Inglewood Unified School District is to ensure that all our
students are taught rigorous standards-based curriculum supported by highly
qualified staff in an exemplary educational system characterized by high student
achievement, social development, safe schools and effective partnerships with all
segments of the community.
“Working at La Tijera K-8 Academy of Excellence has been a pleasure. Students show their school pride in the way they participate in school
activities and participate in all instructional environments. Parents support the school activities and programs while helping maintain our high standards. Finally, the staff at La Tijera K-8 Academy of Excellence
understands how their roles are an integral part of each child’s education, and they strive to provide the highest quality experience for all students.”
Public Internet AccessInternet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the Califor-nia State Library). Access to the internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available at a workstation, and the ability to print documents.

Federal Intervention ProgramSchools and districts will not be newly identified for Program Improvement (PI) in the 2016-17 school year under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that became law in December 2015, which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Schools and districts receiving Title I, Part A funding for the 2015-16 school year and were “In PI” in 2015-16 will retain their same PI status and placement year for 2016-17. Schools and districts receiving Title I, Part A funding for the 2015-16 school year and either had a status of “Not in PI” for the 2015-16 school year or did not receive Title I, Part A funding in the 2014-15 school year will have a status of “Not in PI” for the 2016-17 school year. The percentage of schools identified for Program Improvement is calculated by taking the number of schools currently in PI within the district and dividing it by the total number of Title I schools within the district.
This table displays the 2016-17 Program Improvement status for the school and district. For detailed information about PI identification, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp.

California Physical Fitness TestEach spring, all students in grades 5, 7 and 9 are required to participate in the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT). The Fitnessgram is the designated PFT for students in California public schools put forth by the State Board of Education. The PFT measures six key fitness areas:
1. Aerobic Capacity
2. Body Composition
3. Flexibility
4. Abdominal Strength and Endurance
5. Upper Body Strength and Endurance
6. Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility
Encouraging and assisting students in establishing lifelong habits of regular physical activity is the primary goal of the Fitnessgram. The table shows the percentage of students meeting the fitness standards of being in the “healthy fitness zone” for the most recent testing period. For more detailed information on the California PFT, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/pf.

Class Size DistributionThe bar graphs display the three-year data for average class size, and the table displays the three-year data for the number of classrooms by size. The number of classes indicates how many classrooms fall into each size category (a range of total students per classroom). At the secondary school level, this information is reported by subject area rather than grade level.

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)For the 2015-16 school year, the CAASSP consists of several key components, including:
California Alternate Assessment (CAA) test includes both ELA/literacy and mathematics in grades 3-8 and 11. The CAA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities which prevent them from taking the Smarter Balanced Assessments with universal tools, designated supports or accommodations.
Smarter Balanced Assessments include ELA/literacy in grades 3-8 and 11. Smarter Balanced Assessments are designed to measure student progress toward college and career readiness.
The assessments under CAASPP show how well students are doing in relation to the state-adopted content standards. On each of these assessments, student aggregate scores are reported as achievement standards. For more information on the CAASPP assessments, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca.
CAASPP Test Results for All Students: English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics (grades 3-8 and 11)The table below shows the percentage of students meeting or exceeding the state standards in English language arts (ELA) and literacy and mathematics.

CAASPP by Student Group: English Language Arts/Literacy and MathematicsThe tables on the following pages display the percentage of students that met or exceeded state standards in English language arts and mathematics for the school by student groups for grades 3-8.
The “percentage met or exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number of students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments.
Note: The number of students tested includes all students who participated in the test whether they received a score or not. However, the number of students tested is not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement level percentages are calculated using only students who received scores.
CAASPP Test Results by Student Group: Science (grades 5, 8 and 10)Science test results include CSTs, CMA, and CAPA in grades 5, 8, and 10. The “Proficient or Advanced” is calculated by taking the total number of students who scored proficient or Advanced on the science assess-ment divided by the total number of students with valid scores.

Textbooks and Instructional MaterialsTextbook committees were formed from each grade span: TK-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Committee members included administrators and teachers representative of each grade level and/or department. Each committee attended textbook “toolbox” training through the Los Angeles County Office of Education. These trainings provided members with rubrics and checklists for staff to use during the selection process. The committee used the toolbox to select at least three state-approved publishers to pilot throughout the district. Teachers piloted all options, analyzed each using the toolbox rubrics, and voted for the most appropriate state-approved textbook. In addition, the piloted textbooks were on display at the district for parent input. The committees used all data to make final recommendations to the Advisory Board and state administrator for approval. Each textbook adoption was approved at a public board meeting.
The state administrator makes the final decision on textbook adoptions.
The most recent public hearing held to adopt a resolution on the sufficiency of instructional materials was held on October 12, 2016. All IUSD textbooks are chosen using the state-approved list and fit with in the Cali-fornia curriculum frameworks for that adoption.

School Facility Items Inspected The tables show the results of the school’s most recent inspection using the Facility Inspection Tool (FIT) or equivalent school form. The following is a list of items inspected.
School FacilitiesThe La Tijera campus is four years old with state-of-the-art technology through-out. A surveillance system helps monitor student safety.
Our school has 31 classrooms, one computer lab and a school library. The playground has basketball courts, painted sections for four square and tetherball, and a field for soccer and football. Our gymnasium is used daily for a number of purposes, including a basketball league and physical education.
La Tijera has a security guard who patrols the campus throughout the day to ensure student safety and accountability of all visitors.
The new campus is equipped with 32 hardwired-to-the-internet classrooms, ceiling-mounted wireless modems, a 46 inch flat-screen LCD TV, cable service and a 90 inch interactive whiteboard. Our cam-pus also has four fully functioning science laboratories, a fully stocked library, state-of-the-art Media Center with 32 student-use multimedia desktop computers, nine COWs (computers on wheels and iPad carts), a state-of-the-art gymnasium with a built-in electronic scoreboard, and an upscale fitness room for student and fac-ulty use. There is also a large grass field for outdoor sports and activities.
The district participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides state matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roof-ing, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems. For the 2015-16 school year, the district budgeted zero dollars for the deferred maintenance program. This represents zero percent of the district’s general fund budget.

Professional DevelopmentOur teachers attend several training workshops that are designed to increase student engagement and achievement. Teachers also participated in classroom walk-throughs in order to collect data and have discus-sions about best practices to use in their classrooms to help their students learn.
We hold a regular staff meeting every Tuesday from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in which teachers are involved in professional development, grade-level meetings and subject-content meetings. We also encourage teachers to attend outside professional development and conferences. All elementary teachers have been trained in Journeys. During the year, we provided staff with opportunities to attend conferences and workshops related to professional learning communities, improving math achievement and Thinking Maps (visual tools for learn-ing). During the summer, teachers attend Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) trainings, which they implement in classrooms from grades 3-8.
