Sonoma Mountain High SARC Sonoma Mountain High School School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2019-2020 School Year Published During 2020-2021 By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. • For more information about SARC requirements and access to prior year reports, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. • For more information about the LCFF or the LCAP, see the CDE LCFF webpage at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest web page at https://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners). California School Dashboard The California School Dashboard (Dashboard) https://www.caschooldashboard.org/ reflects California’s new accountability and continuous improvement system and provides information about how LEAs and schools are meeting the needs of California’s diverse student population. The Dashboard contains reports that display the performance of LEAs, schools, and student groups on a set of state and local measures to assist in identifying strengths, challenges, and areas in need of improvement. 2019-20 School Accountability Report Card for Sonoma Mountain High School Page 1 of 13 About This School School Contact Information (School Year 2020-2021) Entity Contact Information School Name Sonoma Mountain High School Street 299 Casa Grande Rd.

The small school is able to provide a program that encompasses all curricular needs for students to earn the 220 credits necessary for their high school diploma. Students at the site have the opportunity to co-enroll in elective classes at Casa Grande High School, as well as access the food services program and the Career Center at the comprehensive site. Sonoma Mountain students are afforded the opportunity to participate in the comprehensive school’s athletic programs, dances and other functions and events. Students are supported in concurrent enrollments with Santa Rosa Junior College and Petaluma Adult School. Online credit recovery is available on a limited basis. Site based mental health counseling is provided by a licensed MFT and a counseling intern. Academic advisory is provided by the teachers every six weeks (at a minimum). Truancy and truancy issues are addressed by the site and district through Student Attendance Review Teams (SART) and the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB). SARB meetings are held once monthly at the district office and SART meetings are held at the site as necessary. 2019-20 School Accountability Report Card for Sonoma Mountain High School Page 2 of 13 SMHS is designed as an alternative for high school students who have not been successful at the traditional high school, putting them at risk of dropping out. Students are enrolled in Sonoma Mountain High School on a voluntary basis. Students who were disconnected from the traditional school, resulting in attendance issues or problems earning sufficient academic credit, might particularly benefit from the program because of the emphasis on daily attendance and the opportunity to complete additional work to make up lost credits. Vision Statement: Upon graduation Carpe Diem and Sonoma Mountain High School students will have a personal plan for life after high school, which includes: • College and/or Career Plan • Academic Success and Employability • Social and Emotional Well-Being Mission Statement: Carpe Diem and Sonoma Mountain High Schools provide a personalized approach to education that supports each individual student by engaging them in the development of their vision for future post-secondary success. Our academic approach integrates standards based instruction, technology and the development of 21st century skills. We acknowledge students’ unique personal and educational backgrounds and provide a flexible, supportive learning environment in order to best fit their personal, social/emotional, and educational needs. Our students participate in career explorations through college and career counseling, presentations, field trips and classroom activities.

The college counselor is meant to fill in the gaps, but again, with over 2,000+ students, it is difficult to personally reach and assist each student in meeting their college and career goals. Campus Visits Private or Public Colleges and Universities are welcome to visit our campus. Visits and presentations may be arranged by calling or emailing the college counselor.

  • Serving Career and Technical Education Students in California
    Career and Technical Student Organizations Serving Career and Technical Education Students in California 1 Career and Technical Education (CTE) is helping our nation address key challenges such as workforce development, student achievement, economic vitality and global competitiveness. Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) are key components to strong CTE programs. CTSOs integrate into CTE programs and courses and extend teaching and learning through innovative programs, business and community partnerships and leadership experiences at the school, state and national levels. • CTSOs provide relevant, engaging programs that improve student achievement, reduce dropout rates and help students discover the wide range of career options available. • CTSOs engage the community and local businesses to help students understand global competition and chart effective and efficient pathways through high school and postsecondary education for their personal success. • CTSO programs, such as industry based competitive events and community service, provide students with the opportunity to develop 21st Century Skills focused on creativity, problem solving, teamwork and goal setting. • CTSOs bring relevance to the classroom and prepare students to be college and career ready. The impact that CTSOs make in our state is quite astonishing. We invite you to review this publication to see how Career and Technical Student Organizations are contributing to learning that works in our state. 2 California Fact Sheet CTE STATE OVERVIEW At the secondary level, CTE is delivered through comprehensive high schools; magnet programs and schools, which are programs in a school (sometimes an entire school itself) that focus on a special area such as science or career education; California Partnership Academies, which are schools-within-a-school that incorporate integrated academic and career and technical education, business partnerships, mentoring and internships; and Regional Occupational Centers and Programs (ROCPs).
