Repairs Needed 

The Charter School is currently in a school controlled by Morgan Hill Unified School District.  The buildings are in need of some repairs and modernization.  The school is on 11 acres of land that provides a lot of playground space.  The playground structure is in need of replacement.  The bathrooms need to be remodeled; the overhangs and roof need to be repaired.

Corrective Actions Taken or Planned 

Morgan Hill Unified School District is planning on making repairs to the overhangs and roof over the summer of 2009.  Charter School of Morgan Hill does continuous fundraising to help with the building repairs.

This section provides information about the school’s goals and programs. 

 

Charter School of Morgan Hill uses project-based learning, strong family involvement and community interaction to develop lifelong learners prepared to be innovative and successful participants in the global community. 

The school is committed to:

  • Developing K-8 students who are self-motivated, self-disciplined and socially responsible
  • Partnering staff, students, parents and community to create a unique, challenging and individualized learning environment with high academic standards and high expectations
  • Applying academic learning to real-life activities through project-oriented programs
  • Providing advanced opportunities in science, technology, languages and the arts
  • Building programs that foster thinking which is original, critical, collaborative and reflective

Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2007-08) 

 

This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.  

 

One of the major components of the Charter School’s mission is parent participation.  We believe that children understand the importance of learning when they experience their family investing time in supporting that effort.  Families contribute in a variety of significant ways to support both their own children’s efforts to excel and to enhance the learning experiences of all students at the school.

Project Based learning is a critical component of the School.  Since CSMH is committed to being a resource-based school, traditional textbooks are not used for every subject because PBL is authentic, active learning.  In PBL, as in real life, students may consult many different sources to acquire information to make decisions and solve problems.  We use such resources as: guided reading books, the internet, textbooks, guest speakers, reference materials, core literature novels, manipulatives, realia, museums, educational centers, original documents, interviews.  The staff of Charter School of Morgan Hill continually seeks new and innovative strategies and materials to meet the needs of each student.

Academic Performance Index 

The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can be found at the API Web page. 

API Ranks – Three-Year Comparison 

This table displays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. These ranks are published when the Base API is released each March. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest 10 percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest 10 percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “similar schools.” A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school’s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing 10 schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

Adequate Yearly Progress 

The federal NCLB act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria: 

*       Participation rate on the state's standards-based assessments in English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics

*       Percent proficient on the state's standards-based assessments in ELA and mathematics

*       API as an additional indicator

*       Graduation rate (for secondary schools)

Detailed information about AYP, including participation rates and percent proficient results by student group, can be found at the AYP Web page. 

AYP Overall and by Criteria (School Year 2007-08)

Federal Intervention Program (School Year 2008-09)

Schools and districts receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English-language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Detailed information about PI identification can be found at the AYP Web page.

XI. School Completion and Postsecondary Preparation 

Admission Requirements for California Public Universities

University of California

Admission requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state's high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work. For general admissions requirements please visit the University of California Web site.

California State University

Admission requirements for the California State University (CSU) use three factors to determine eligibility. They are specific high school courses; grades in specified courses and test scores; and graduation from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For general admissions requirements please visit the California State University Web site.

Dropout Rate and Graduation Rate

This table displays the school’s one-year dropout rates and graduation rates for the most recent three-year period for which data is available. For comparison purposes, data are also provided at the district and state levels. Detailed information about dropout rates and graduation rates can be found on the DataQuest Web site.

Completion of High School Graduation Requirements 

Students in California public schools must pass both the English-language arts and mathematics portions of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) to receive a high school diploma. For students who began the 2007-08 school year in the 12th grade, as evidenced by that school year’s October CBEDS enrollment, this table displays by student group the percent who met all state and local graduation requirements for grade 12 completion, including having passed both portions of the CAHSEE or received a local waiver or state exemption. Detailed information about the CAHSEE can be found at the CAHSEE Web page. Note: "N/A" means that the student group is not numerically significant.

XII. Instructional Planning and Scheduling  

 

Professional Development 

This section provides information on the annual number of school days dedicated to staff development for the most recent three-year period.  

 

There were a total of 24 minimum days at the Charter School of Morgan Hill.  13 minimum days were designated to using the later half of the day for staff development.  10 minimum days were used for conferences and 1 day was used for the last day of school. CSMH also has 6 full days of staff development each year.  On these days the staff concentrates on improving instruction by focusing on specific content knowledge, teaching strategies, student work and instructional planning.
