Graduation Data 2017 Graduation Data 2017 Acalanes Campolindo Las Lomas Miramonte Acalanes Union High School District 2017 Assessment Report Graduation Data Definitions Used in Producing Graduation Cohort Outcome Data Cohort: Cohort is the group of students that could potentially graduate during a four-year time period (grade 9 through grade 12.) The students enter 9th grade for the first time in the initial year of the four years used for the cohort. Adjusted Cohort: The cohort as mentioned above is adjusted by: • Adding students who later transfer into the cohort during grade 9 (year 1), grade 10 (year 2), grade 11 (year 3), and grade 12 (year 4); and • Subtracting students who transfer out, emigrate to another country, or die during the four-year cohort period. The four-year adjusted cohort is the basis for calculating graduation rates, dropout rates, and other related rates. Students who drop out during the four-year period remain in the cohort, as well as students that complete 12th grade and exit the educational system without graduating. Students that take longer than four years to graduate or remain enrolled after four years are also included as part of the cohort. Cohort Graduation Rate: The four-year graduation rate is calculated by dividing the number of students in the four-year adjusted cohort who graduate in four years or less (with either traditional high school diploma, an adult education high school diploma, or having passed the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduation class. # of cohort members who earned a regular high school diploma by the end of year 4 in the cohort DIVIDED BY # of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduation class. Cohort Dropout Rate: This is the rate of students that leave the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma, passing a high school equivalency exam or special education certificate of completion and do not remain enrolled after the end of the year four. # of students in the four-year cohort that dropped out by the end of the year 4 of the cohort DIVIDED BY # of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduation class. 2017 AUHSD Assessment Report 100 Acalanes Union High School District 2017 Assessment Report Cohort High School Equivalency Passer Rate: This is the rate of students that leave the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma, but have passed a HS equivalency exam (e. GED) # of students in the four-year cohort that passed a HS equivalency DIVIDED BY # of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduation class. Cohort Special Education Certificate of Completion Rate: This is the rate of special education students that leave the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma, but have completed the requirements necessary to obtain a special education certificate of completion. # of students in the four-year cohort that received his/her special education certificate of completion by the end of year 4 of the cohort DIVIDED BY # of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduation class. Cohort Still Enrolled Rate: This is the rate of students that remain enrolled in the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma after the end of the year four of high school. # of students in the four-year cohort that are enrolled after the end of the 4th year DIVIDED BY # of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduation class. 2017 AUHSD Assessment Report 101 Acalanes Union High School District 2017 Assessment Report The following graduation data are for the 2015-2016 school year.

Our experiences differ, but your sacrifices for community, family and personal safety and wellbeing have undoubtedly been significant. We know that the disruption to regular on-campus instructional and extracurricular programs last year has brought additional challenges to many. And we know that students benefit from in-person learning, and safely returning to in-person instruction must be a priority. The foundational principle to our 2021-2022 planning has been to provide access to safe and full in- person instruction to all students. Throughout our planning process, we have been following the requirements and considering the recommendations and general guidance of the California Department of Public Health, reviewing the general advisory guidance of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and following the local orders of Contra Costa Health Services.

  • Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha the Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear Reader
    Tau Beta Pi CA-Alpha The Engineering Honor Society University of California, Berkeley Annual Chapter Report : Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Dear reader, It is with great pride that I present to you this compilation of CA-A’s projects for the 2011-2012 school year. Through the combined efforts of our dedicated officer corps and membership, our impressive class of new initiates, and our faithful alumni, we were able to accomplish truly spectacular things this past year. We held a record-breaking 46 fun/social events and 31 company infosessions, most of which were open to other engineering students, along with numerous professional development events and service activities. But what truly exemplifies the success of the chapter over the past year is the fruitful cultivation of our new, amazing projects. Taking the call of noblesse oblige to heart, the theme of our past year was outreach, both to the College of Engineering and to the surrounding Bay area. CA-A made it our mission to provide opportunities for engineering students and Bay area community members. In the Fall, CA-A unveiled for the first time its College Bound event, an all-day event with the goal of promoting post-secondary STEM education to underrepresented groups. Nearly 200 high school students travelled to the Berkeley campus to hear about student research projects and participate in fun hands-on engineering modules. Then again in the Spring, CA-A rolled out its Engineering Open House, a more focused event to give high school students interested in engineering majors an insider’s look at the life of an engineering student at Berkeley.

  • Fixed Route Service Near Schools
    To: O&S Committee Date: October 12th, 2017 From: Bill Churchill Reviewed by: Assistant General Manager of Administration SUBJECT: Fixed Route Service Near Schools Background: As requested by the Board, staff has prepared this report to provide a broad perspective of K‐12 student passengers using County Connection services. It is important to note this body of work did not evaluate potential student ridership to colleges since the issues they present are significantly different from those related to K‐12. The goal of this report is to provide the Board with an understanding of the challenges posed by providing students with service adjacent to schools, an idea of how widespread these services extend and hopefully the value of providing the services. County Connection currently provides service adjacent to 44 schools represented by nine different school districts across its service area. These schools range from elementary schools to high schools and include some continuation schools. Please refer to Attachment A for a complete list of schools and districts. In order to gain a system wide perspective of bus routes and schools, staff developed a service map with an overlay of schools (please see Attachment A). The service map provides a rather clear perspective of the breadth of service to schools in Central County and demonstrates all member jurisdictions receive a significant level of service designed to meet school bell times. Routes outlined in blue represent standard public transit routes while those in red represent school trippers. For perspective, most red lines would have been blue lines prior to the 2009 service reduction.
