To qualify for a 5–7-year charter renewal, one indicator we need is to be in the High or Middle Performing category. The indicators they are talking about are on the California School Dashboard. (Click below to view the Dashboard.)
High Performing: The charter school has Blue and/or Green on all state indicators for two years.
Middle Performing: The charter school meets neither the High Performing level nor the Low Performing level criteria.
Low Performing: The charter school has Red and/or Orange on all state indicators for two years. (Mountain Oaks scored in the Low Performing Category for the 23/24 school year)
The data on the California School Dashboard is the primary data point reviewed by the California Department of Education.
If we score in the low performing category we are only eligible for a 1-2 year term. https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ch/csdweb032624.asp
The CAASPP results from the 24/25 and 25/26 school year are the ones that will be used for charter renewal. It is critical that we share this information with our families and students in order for them to partner with us to develop strategies to not only improve student academic achievement, but to improve our students' CAASPP test-taking strategies. Test-taking strategies are also a life skill our students will use outside of the academic environment.
We need our community to support us in promoting academic success for all students along with a positive school testing environment.
