Gardner Elementary
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 aboutthe condit ion and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educat ional agencies (LEAs) are required toprepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, w ith specific act ivit ies toaddress state and local priorit ies. Addit ionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent w ith data reported in the SARC.
For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Educat ion (CDE) SARC Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.

B. Pupil Outcomes
State Priority: Pupil Achievement
The SARC provides the follow ing information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4):
Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the Smarter Balanced SummativeAssessments for students in the general educat ion populat ion and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] andmathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Only eligible students may part icipate in the administrat ion of the CAAs. CAAs items arealigned w ith alternate achievement standards, which are linked w ith the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students w ith the most significant cognit ivedisabilit ies); and
The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that sat isfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the CaliforniaState University, or career technical educat ion sequences or programs of study.
Note: Percentages are not calculated when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small forstat ist ical accuracy or to protect student privacy.

Note: ELA test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the CAA. The “Percent Met or Exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number ofstudents who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard (i.e., achievedLevel 3–Alternate) on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who part icipated in both assessments.
Note: Double dashes (--) appear in the table when the number of students is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small forstat ist ical accuracy or to protect student privacy.
Note: The number of students tested includes all students who part icipated in the test whether they received a score or not; however, the number of students testedis not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement level percentages are calculated using only students who receivedscores.
