III MEASURABLE STUDENT OUTCOMES AND OTHER USES OF DATA<br />

MEASURABLE STUDENT OUTCOMES<br />

There are school-wide goals and objectives that <strong>ARISE</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> holds for itself<br />

and all of its students, as well as individual areas in which we expect each one of our<br />

students to demonstrate proficiency prior to graduation. The school's overall goals<br />

and objectives include the following:<br />

• Of <strong>ARISE</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>'s incoming ninth graders, a minimum of 80% will<br />

graduate within five years.<br />

• 90% of our students will make progress, as measured against themselves, on<br />

standardized, state tests, including the CAHSEE (for those who initially fail and<br />

retake the exam), CELDT, and STAR tests.<br />

• All graduates will pass the CAHSEE.<br />

• All <strong>ARISE</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> graduates will meet UC eligibility requirements as well<br />

as additional course requirements (see chart on page 8).<br />

• All graduates will successfully complete and present a portfolio of their work<br />

that demonstrates mastery of key skill and content areas aligned with the<br />

California state standards (see portfolio requirements below).<br />

• Every student will take at least two college level courses by the time he or she<br />

graduates.<br />

• The school will maintain a minimum of a 90% attendance rate.<br />

• All graduates will have taken either the SAT or ACT.<br />

• All <strong>ARISE</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> graduates will participate in internships at organizations<br />

throughout the Bay Area that support the academic and career interests of<br />

<strong>ARISE</strong> students.<br />

• All <strong>ARISE</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> graduates will participate in educational experiences<br />

outside of the classroom, both during the school year as well as at least two<br />

summers.<br />

• In terms of demonstrating particular academic skills and content knowledge,<br />

every student will produce evidence of their proficiency in specific content areas<br />

which they will then defend before a panel of educators from both the school<br />

and the college, as well as outside experts. Students will be required, at<br />

minimum, to create portfolio presentations and projects for defense in the<br />

following areas:<br />

• Scientific inquiry<br />

• Mathematical thinking<br />

• Literary analysis<br />

• Historical research and understanding<br />

• Artistic expression<br />
