By addressing these outcomes of the self-study, the school will have accomplished: 1. The involvement and collaboration of all staff and other stakeholders to support student achievement 2. The clarification and measurement of what all students should know, understand, and be able to do through schoolwide learner outcomes and academic standards 3. The analysis of data about students and student achievement 4. The assessment of the entire school program and its impact on student learning in relation to the schoolwide learner outcomes, academic standards, and ACS WASC/CDE criteria 5. The alignment of a long-range action plan to the school’s areas of need; the capacity to implement and monitor the accomplishment of the plan. The position for 2016-2017 WASC Coordinator was flown via email to all faculty members by Principal Garcia in late May 2016. Matthew Guske was the only applicant for the WASC Coordinator position. As soon as he was appointed Mr. Guske began working with SPHS administration to develop a plan for completing the WASC self-study. In early June Mr. Guske, the newly appointed WASC coordinator, began watching the recorded trainings on the WASC website. On June 10th, two days after school ended, the WASC coordinator, Principal Garcia, and Assistant Principal Dr. Williams created a timeline of how and when each chapter of the WASC report would be completed. Specifically this plan called for completing drafts of Chapters 1 and 2 over the summer break, reviewing the drafts of Chapters 1 and 2 and beginning Chapter 3 with the input of the Leadership team in August, and then beginning work on Chapter 4 in September. By the end of summer a draft of Chapter 1 was complete. Site administration reviewed this draft in early August and a draft of Chapter 2 was started as school resumed in mid-August. Chapters 3 and 4 four were completed over the course of the first semester with the input of faculty and staff. By the end of December drafts of Chapter 1-4 were completed and the SPHS Leadership Team brainstormed goals and strategies for a draft of Chapter 5. Ms. Garcia and Mr. Guske edited Chapters 1-4 and developed a draft of Chapter 5 over the course of the winter holiday. The final draft for the entire report was edited in January and delivered to the Visiting Committee Chairwoman on Monday February 6th, 2017. Gdocs 2016 ACS WASC/CDE Edition 2 SPHS WASC 2017 Chapter I: Student/Community Profile and Supporting Data and Findings 3 SPHS WASC 2017 Chapter I: Student/Community Profile and Supporting Data and Findings Prepare a student/community profile. Include data and findings for the following: ● Demographic data, including the refined schoolwide learner outcomes ● Disaggregated and interpreted student outcome data ● Perception data summaries, if any. A) General Background and History 1. Community 1a. The Community Served by the School Santa Paula High School is located in Santa Paula California, approximately 15 miles inland from Ventura, in the Santa Clara River Valley. The city is surrounded by the peaks of the Los Padres National Forest to the north and rolling hills and fertile valleys to the south. The school was founded in 1888 as a private academy, with the first graduating class of Santa Paula Union High School in 1891. The school underwent some damage due to the Long Beach earthquake and the majority of the facilities were rebuilt beginning in 1933 through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal. Santa Paula High School is Ventura County Historical Landmark number 97. Santa Paula has a population of approximately 30,000 people, and Santa Paula High School, with roughly 1600 students, is the only comprehensive high school in the Santa Paula Unified School District. Enrollment has moderately increased over the last six year from 1503 to 1588 students. A second school, Renaissance High School, a continuation high school, has an enrollment of approximately 125 students. Over the last six years the percent of students that are ELs has dropped from approximately 32% to 17%. The city’s economic base is largely agricultural as Santa Paula is a major producer of citrus products. Agribusiness giants Calavo and Limoneira dominate the local industry. As of the 2015-2016 school year, Santa Paula High School students are approximately 95.1% Hispanic or Latino, 4.4% white, and .5% other. Santa Paula Unified applied for and was approved to be a Provision II District for free lunch starting in the 2016-2017 school year. The district, as a whole, is approximately 85% free and reduced. 1b. Family and Community Trends Santa Paula is a unique, multicultural small town. The climate is temperate in the winter with temperatures in the upper 60s, and warm in the summer with temperatures approaching 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The housing in Santa Paula is reasonably priced compared to the rest of Ventura County. The median home price is approximately $380,000 compared to approximately $525,000 in the county at large. 4 SPHS WASC 2017 Santa Paula’s Main Street features many early 1900s business facades. The Santa Paula Airport, the oldest operating airfield in Ventura County, is known as The Antique Airplane Capital of the World. The Airport Museum, open the first Sunday of every month, showcases a treasure-trove of world famous experimental and antique aircraft. The Union Oil Company was founded in Santa Paula in 1890, shortly after the first “gusher” occurred, just three miles west of town. The refurbished offices of the Union Oil Company are now home to the California Oil Museum, as well as the Santa Paula Historical Society and have regularly hosted museum exhibits designed by Santa Paula High School students. Many of the school’s employees live within a 10 mile radius of Santa Paula, and many students’ parents and grandparents attended Santa Paula High School. The small town atmosphere and sense of tradition gives Santa Paula High School a strong feeling of community. City of Santa Paula Demographic Characteristics--Data provided by city-data.com Population--30,546 Hispanic or Latino 79.5% Not Hispanic or Latino 18.5% Male: 50.5% Female: 49.5% Foreign Born: 29.4% Estimated Household Income: Median Household Income: $54, 068 Housing: Owner occupied housing unit rate: 57.4% Median monthly owner costs: $1974 Median gross rent: $1128 Estimated Population 25+ by educational attainment: High School graduate or higher: 65.5% Bachelor's Degree or higher: 13.9% 1c. State/Federal Mandates Santa Paula High School continues to transition its instruction and curriculum to common core (including NGSS) and 21st century skills. ELA, Math and Science have a strongly aligned curriculum, while Math is in the 4th year of piloting an Integrated 5 SPHS WASC 2017 Math Common Core curriculum. A Math curriculum will be adopted in the 2016-17 school year. The graduation rate is on an upward trend. At the same time the administration and faculty prepare students for the CAASPP assessment. Santa Paula High School maintains a highly qualified staff. All teachers hold the appropriate certificates including the certification to teach English Learners. The school and district continue to provide targeted professional development to ensure that teachers have access to the most recent instructional strategies and research. The highly qualified staff at Santa Paula High School provides students access to a broad range of education opportunities including: AP courses, academies, college preparatory courses, special education, ELD, and five CTE career pathways. The number of students at Santa Paula High School qualifying for Title I is based on the number of students who meet the low socioeconomic status requirements. Santa Paula High School follows all required state/federal program mandates and offers student services through Title I, Special Education, 504s, Title III, and Tobacco Use Prevention Education. 1d. Parent/Community Organizations To help support the learning taking place in the school, Santa Paula High School partners with many community and parent groups. There are a host of groups, but those with which the school works with regularly include: School Site Council, English Language Advisory Council, Agricultural and Human Services Academy Advisory Committees, Migrant Parent Advisory Committee, Wellness Committee, Interact, Rotary, the Optimist Club, Kiwanis, Band Boosters, Agriculture and Football parent support groups, and reconstituted in the 2008-2009 school year, Parent Teacher Association (PTA). In addition, the school partners with Ventura County Behavioral Health, Clinicas, the Palmer Drug Abuse Program, and Interface’s Triple P Project which provides behavioral services and outreach to at-risk children, youth and families. 1e. Community foundation programs Santa Paula High School is connected with two community foundation programs; the Ventura County Community Foundation (VCCF) and Santa Paula Education Foundation (SPEF).

After three amazing albums, we don't consider it, but we need something at the same time if there isn't a single burning chart. This new mixtape (back cover after jump) seems to be the answer. There are no major major records here, only 12 straight tracks of irreconcilable coke rap. We hope Jizzle scores that hit before TM103 arrives at the end of September, but we'll happily rock with these anthem traps until then.
