Specifically, the goals of the UCLA EAOPrograms are to increase the academic competitiveness of students so they are college ready and admissible to the University of California. By successfully completing the UC A-G requirements, college entrance exams and participating in extracurricular activities, EAOP participants prepare to be admissible to the most selective colleges, like UCLA, upon high school graduation. EAOP works collaboratively with schools to provide students with challenging academic enrichment activities. In short, EAOP is an academic preparation program that prepares students for the opportunity to make college possible by working together with families, educators, schools and communities to promote and cultivate a college-going culture. Currently there are 92 schools participating in the UCLA Early Academic Outreach Program: 60 high schools and 32 middle schools representing nine school districts in Los Angeles County. In the Lynwood Unified School District, EAOP has operated in Lynwood High School, Hosler Middle School (until its closure in ‘03) and Lynwood Middle School for over 15 years serving over 20,000 students and their families. We are also currently working with the ninth graders at the new Lynwood 9 West Academy campus who are participants in our Career Based Outreach Program (CBOP). CBOP is a program designed to provide an early college outreach experience and graduate/professional school outreach services and opportunities to targeted high school students (Scholars) and UCLA undergraduate students (Fellows), respectively. Using a service learning model, Fellows mentor and help scholars map an educational plan as they explore their own career and graduate school interests and options while also helping scholars do the same. Fellows help Scholars develop the necessary learning tools that will allow them to begin to take responsibility for their own learning. The Scholars then share this information with other students in their school or with students at the middle school level, reinforcing what has been learned. The goal of the Fellow/Scholar sessions is to help the scholars become proactive learners. EAOP has two full-time site coordinators assigned to work in the Lynwood schools with a host of UCLA undergraduates known as Bruin Advisors and CBOP Fellows providing services. Many are former Lynwood students working alongside staff to help Lynwood students become college knowledgeable, ready and admissible. UCLA EAOP offers academic preparation activities and opportunities for students and their family in four categories: 1) Academic Enrichment which includes Saturday academies emphasizing math, critical reading, writing and analytical skills, and summer residential academic boot camps at UCLA; 2) Academic Advising, where staff will develop for students a 3-4 year individualized academic plan (IAP) which is monitored regularly, offer mentoring; tutorial assistance and or referral; assistance with college applications, personal statements and FAFSA; 3) Test Prep Workshops on the PSAT, ACT, and SAT I/II; and 4) UC Education which includes parent/family college preparatory workshops, college informational meetings; Financial Aid/FAFSA workshops, college conferences, concurrent enrollment; campus visits; service learning projects; study skills/learning tools instruction as well as UC admission/A-G in-service training for school personnel. At the end of each year, EAOP administers a senior survey to all EAOP seniors. The survey is designed to summarize UC A-G course pattern completion, UC eligibility, and post-secondary enrollment plans. Below are the results for the class of ’03 based on students who responded to the senior survey. • 4,333 EAOP seniors • 1,477 (34.08 %) applied to UCLA • 3,236 survey received • 524 ( 35.47 % ) admitted to UCLA • 1,759 (54.4%) UC eligible • 294 ( 56.10 %) enrolled at UCLA • 3,128 (96.7%) attended post secondary institution • 2,384 (73.67%) attended 4-year institution Lynwood High Class of ’03 College Plans EAOP % UC Eligible Other/or Seniors UC Private Community College unknown Lynwood High 106 48% 20 18 The EAOP class of ’04 senior survey is still being compiled. However, we do know for Fall 2004 there were 38 applicants to UCLA from Lynwood High with 14 students admitted for a 36.8% admit rate. The following chart summarizes the number of Lynwood Unified School District students served by the UCLA EAOP from 1998-99 through 2004-05.
