III. Academic DataCalifornia Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, students in grades 2-11 aretested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests(CST) in English/language arts and mathematics in grades 2-11, science and history/social science in grades9-11, and a norm-referenced test which tests reading, language and mathematics in Grades 2-11, spelling inGrades 2-8, and science in Grades 9-11.
California Standards Tests (CST)The California Standards Tests show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards.Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds statestandards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), andFar Below Basic (well below standards). Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level have met statestandards in that content area. Detailed information regarding results for each grade and proficiency level canbe found at the California Department of Education website at http://star.cde.ca.gov or by speaking with theschool principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students testedis 10 or less.
Academic Performance Index (API)The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1000 that annually measures the academicperformance and progress of individual schools in California. On an interim basis, the state has set 800 as the APIscore that schools should strive to meet.Growth Targets: The annual growth target for a school is 5% of the distance between its base API and 800. Actualgrowth is the number of API points a school gained bewteen its base and growth years. Schools that reach theirannual targets are eligible for monetary awards. Schools that do not meet their targets and have a statewide APIrank of one to five are eligible to participate in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program(II/USP), which provides resources to schools to improve their academic achievement. There was no moneyallocated to the II/USP Program in 2002 or 2003.Subgroup APIs and Targets: In addition to a schoolwide API, schools also receive API scores for eachnumerically significant subgroup in the school (i.e., racial/ethnic subgroups and socioeconomically disadvantagedsubgroups.) Growth targets, equal to 80% of the school’s target, are also set for each of the subgroups. Eachsubgroup must meet its target in addition to the schoolwide target being met for the school to be identified ashaving met its target.Percentage Tested: In order to be eligible for awards, elementary and middle schools must test at least 95% oftheir students in grades 2-8 and high schools must test at least 90% of their students in grades 9-11 on STAR.Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from one(lowest) to ten (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school).Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school with 100 other schools withsimilar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from one (lowest) to ten(highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to schools most like it.
API criteria are subject to change as new legislation is enacted into law. Detailed information about the API andthe Public Scools Accountability Act (PSAA) can be found at the California Department of Education website athttp://www.cde.ca.gov/psaa/api/ or by speaking with the school principal.
“A” means the school scored at or above the statewide performance target of 800.

California Standards Tests (CST)The California Standards Tests show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards.Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds statestandards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), andFar Below Basic (well below standards).

III. Academic DataCalifornia Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, students in grades 2-11 aretested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests(CST) in English/language arts and mathematics in grades 2-11, science and history/social science in grades9-11, and a norm-referenced test which tests reading, language and mathematics in Grades 2-11, spelling inGrades 2-8, and science in Grades 9-11.
California Standards Tests (CST)The California Standards Tests show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards.Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds statestandards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), andFar Below Basic (well below standards). Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level have met statestandards in that content area. Detailed information regarding results for each grade and proficiency level canbe found at the California Department of Education website at http://star.cde.ca.gov or by speaking with theschool principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students testedis 10 or less.
Academic Performance Index (API)The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1000 that annually measures the academicperformance and progress of individual schools in California. On an interim basis, the state has set 800 as the APIscore that schools should strive to meet.Growth Targets: The annual growth target for a school is 5% of the distance between its base API and 800. Actualgrowth is the number of API points a school gained bewteen its base and growth years. Schools that reach theirannual targets are eligible for monetary awards. Schools that do not meet their targets and have a statewide APIrank of one to five are eligible to participate in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program(II/USP), which provides resources to schools to improve their academic achievement. There was no moneyallocated to the II/USP Program in 2002 or 2003.Subgroup APIs and Targets: In addition to a schoolwide API, schools also receive API scores for eachnumerically significant subgroup in the school (i.e., racial/ethnic subgroups and socioeconomically disadvantagedsubgroups.) Growth targets, equal to 80% of the school’s target, are also set for each of the subgroups. Eachsubgroup must meet its target in addition to the schoolwide target being met for the school to be identified ashaving met its target.Percentage Tested: In order to be eligible for awards, elementary and middle schools must test at least 95% oftheir students in grades 2-8 and high schools must test at least 90% of their students in grades 9-11 on STAR.Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from one(lowest) to ten (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school).Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school with 100 other schools withsimilar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from one (lowest) to ten(highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to schools most like it.
API criteria are subject to change as new legislation is enacted into law. Detailed information about the API andthe Public Scools Accountability Act (PSAA) can be found at the California Department of Education website athttp://www.cde.ca.gov/psaa/api/ or by speaking with the school principal.
“A” means the school scored at or above the statewide performance target of 800.

III. Academic DataCalifornia Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, students in grades 2-11 aretested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests(CST) in English/language arts and mathematics in grades 2-11, science and history/social science in grades9-11, and a norm-referenced test which tests reading, language and mathematics in Grades 2-11, spelling inGrades 2-8, and science in Grades 9-11.
California Standards Tests (CST)The California Standards Tests show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards.Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five performance levels are Advanced (exceeds statestandards), Proficient (meets standards), Basic (approaching standards), Below Basic (below standards), andFar Below Basic (well below standards). Students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level have met statestandards in that content area. Detailed information regarding results for each grade and proficiency level canbe found at the California Department of Education website at http://star.cde.ca.gov or by speaking with theschool principal. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students testedis 10 or less.
Academic Performance Index (API)The Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to 1000 that annually measures the academicperformance and progress of individual schools in California. On an interim basis, the state has set 800 as the APIscore that schools should strive to meet.Growth Targets: The annual growth target for a school is 5% of the distance between its base API and 800. Actualgrowth is the number of API points a school gained bewteen its base and growth years. Schools that reach theirannual targets are eligible for monetary awards. Schools that do not meet their targets and have a statewide APIrank of one to five are eligible to participate in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program(II/USP), which provides resources to schools to improve their academic achievement. There was no moneyallocated to the II/USP Program in 2002 or 2003.Subgroup APIs and Targets: In addition to a schoolwide API, schools also receive API scores for eachnumerically significant subgroup in the school (i.e., racial/ethnic subgroups and socioeconomically disadvantagedsubgroups.) Growth targets, equal to 80% of the school’s target, are also set for each of the subgroups. Eachsubgroup must meet its target in addition to the schoolwide target being met for the school to be identified ashaving met its target.Percentage Tested: In order to be eligible for awards, elementary and middle schools must test at least 95% oftheir students in grades 2-8 and high schools must test at least 90% of their students in grades 9-11 on STAR.Statewide Rank: Schools receiving an API score are ranked in ten categories of equal size (deciles) from one(lowest) to ten (highest), according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school).Similar Schools Rank: Schools also receive a ranking that compares that school with 100 other schools withsimilar demographic characteristics. Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from one (lowest) to ten(highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to schools most like it.
API criteria are subject to change as new legislation is enacted into law. Detailed information about the API andthe Public Scools Accountability Act (PSAA) can be found at the California Department of Education website athttp://www.cde.ca.gov/psaa/api/ or by speaking with the school principal.
“A” means the school scored at or above the statewide performance target of 800.

IV. School Completion (Secondary Schools only)562
California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE)Beginning with the graduating class of 2006, students in California public schools will have to pass theCalifornia High School Exit Exam to receive a high school diploma. The School Accountability ReportCard for that year will report the percentage of students completing grade12 who successfully complete theCAHSEE. These data are not required to be reported until 2006 when they
can be reported for the entire potential graduating class. Whenimplemented, the data will be disaggregataed by special eduationstatus, English language learners, socioeconomic status, gender,and ethnic group.
Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate Data reported regarding progress toward reducing dropout rates over the most recent three-year periodinclude: • grade 9-12 enrollment
• the number of dropouts, and• the one-year dropout rate as reported by CBEDS
The formula for the one-year dropout rate is (Grades 9-12 dropouts divided by Grades 9-12 Enrollment)multiplied by 100. The graduation rate, required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), iscalculated by dividing the number of high school graduates by the sum of dropouts for grades 9 through12, in consecutive years, plus the number of graduates.

VI. Teacher and Staff Information
Teacher Credential InformationPart-time teachers are counted as ‘1’. If a teacher works at two schools, he/she is only counted at oneschool. Data are not available for teachers with a full credential and teaching outside his/her subjectarea.
At Garfield, 100% of our regular education teachers are credentialed to teach in multiple subjectclassrooms. All our bilingual teachers have earned their certificate of competence and/or the appropriatebilingual credential. All our ELD teachers have the CLAD certificates. One Special Education teacherpossesses an emergency credential.
Teacher EvaluationsTeacher evaluation procedures and the criteria on which they are based:
Substitute TeachersImpact upon program of quality or availability of substitute teachers:
Counselors and Other Support StaffData reported are in units of full-time equivalents (FTE). One FTE is defined as a staff person working 100% of full time.Two staff persons working 50% of full time also equals one FTE.
Academic CounselorsData reported are in units of full-time equivalents (FTE). One FTE is defined as a staff person working 100% of full time.Two staff persons working 50% of full time also equals one FTE. The ratio of pupils per academic counselor is enrollmentas reported in the most recent California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) data collection divided by the number ofacademic counselors.

When substitutes are not available, the “Success For All” Facilitator and the principal covered the classes.In some instances, the students are reassigned to other classrooms for part of the day.
At Garfield, we have the following part-time positions: a speech Therapist, an Occupational Therapist, aSchool Psychologist and a Resource Program Specialist. We have a full-time Success For All Facilitator,a half-time reading and math teacher, one paraprofessional tutor for the reading program, onelibrary/media paraprofessional and one Elementary Advisor. Volunteers from the community (includingJunior Achievement, Jewish Coalition for Literacy and other San Francisco Volunteers), our parent bodyand students from the San Francisco Art Institute and other universities assist in and outside theclassrooms. Consultants from Adventures In Music, Performing Arts Workshop, Art Collaborative,Mental Health Services, Family Mosaic and the S.F. Drug Educational Program participate in specialprojects during the year.
San Francisco Unified School District's teacher evaluation system is currently under revision. The District isconducting a pilot in 30 schools of a new evaluation system, based upon the California Standards for theTeaching Profession. This pilot includes teacher self-assessment, professional growth plans and objectives,and guided reflection. There are protocols for pre-observation and post-observation conferences.Administrators are trained in evidence-based observation, focusing on specific areas of teacher practice, aswell as in reflective questioning and coaching strategies. All of this is an effort to make teacher evaluation aprofessional growth-oriented process in the SFUSD. For teachers who are not performing at a satisfactorylevel, the District has a Peer Assistance & Review (PAR) program whereby those teachers receive up to ayear of intensive coaching support to significantly improve practice and remain employed in the SFUSD.
Elementary: District general funds are not available for counseling services at the elementary school level. However,some schools have added support staff funded through special programs, projects, or grant awards.Middle/High: The District staffing ratio for counselors in middle and high schools is based on enrollment and iscomputed as follows:
Middle Students. : Counselors High Students : Counselors0-650 : 1 0-501 : 1 1501-1751 : 3.5

San Francisco Unified School District's teacher evaluation system is currently under revision. The District isconducting a pilot in 30 schools of a new evaluation system, based upon the California Standards for theTeaching Profession. This pilot includes teacher self-assessment, professional growth plans and objectives,and guided reflection. There are protocols for pre-observation and post-observation conferences.Administrators are trained in evidence-based observation, focusing on specific areas of teacher practice, aswell as in reflective questioning and coaching strategies. All of this is an effort to make teacher evaluation aprofessional growth-oriented process in the SFUSD. For teachers who are not performing at a satisfactorylevel, the District has a Peer Assistance & Review (PAR) program whereby those teachers receive up to ayear of intensive coaching support to significantly improve practice and remain employed in the SFUSD.
Elementary: District general funds are not available for counseling services at the elementary school level. However,some schools have added support staff funded through special programs, projects, or grant awards.Middle/High: The District staffing ratio for counselors in middle and high schools is based on enrollment and iscomputed as follows:
