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.

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.
