School Description and Mission Statement
|
Central
Valley High School is one of five continuation schools in the Kern High
School District. Central Valley High School serves students from the
predominantly Hispanic communities of Shafter, Buttonwillow, Bellridge and
surrounding rural areas. The school was established in September 1971 and is
rich with history and traditions. The
faculty and staff of Central Valley Continuation High School are committed to
preparing students for the future within a safe and accepting learning
environment. Students experience
quality instruction through the implementation of a standards based
curriculum that incorporates state mandated literacy, mathematic and
technological skills. The collective
responsibility of Central Valley High School is to assist students in
becoming personally and socially responsible citizens, and to develop
life-long learners who realize their post-secondary academic and vocational
goals. It is our belief that every student has the capacity to learn
and deserves the opportunity to do so.

Safety and Climate for Learning
School Safety Plan

|
The
School Safety Plan is linked to Shafter High School’s plan since the school
is located on Shafter High School premises. Both schools share a
comprehensive plan outlining procedures for staff and students in lieu of
fire, earthquake, campus emergency, & school evacuation. A
Shafter Emergency Response Team (S.H.E.R.T) including administrators,
teachers, and classified staff is activated when an emergency occurs. Local
agencies including Fire, Police, Sheriff, and Ambulance have access to campus
maps, gas shut-off valves, emergency exits, fire alarms, and the S.H.E.R.T
command system response plan. Central
Valley has created a school climate that is positive, friendly and supportive
of students. The school is committed to supporting the discipline policy of
the Kern High School District as well as the school’s policies. The Site
Administrator is responsible for monitoring student attendance, maintaining
campus security, conducting conflict mediation, providing for student safety,
and enforcing discipline policy. In addition, the Site Administrator also
contacts parents when students violate the education code. One campus supervisor, the Site Administrator and a KHSD Police Office monitor the safety of the campus. |

School Programs and Practices that Promote a
Positive Learning Environment
|
The
staff at Central Valley is dedicated to providing a challenging learning
environment to all students. Our staff focuses on students developing the
attitudes, skills and abilities necessary to be successful. Our educational
goals are: 1. Enhance
the curriculum by challenging and motivating students with effective teaching
strategies, and 2. Develop
study and critical thinking skills and technology in the classroom. The
small size of the CVHS staff lends itself to regular communication, both
formally and informally, about curricular concerns, student progress and
teaching strategies. Adjustments are being made to make standards-based
instruction and ESLRs a driving force in the curriculum. The curriculum is primarily individualized and competency based. Staff and student collaboration is a key aspect of the Central Valley program. Teachers are available to assist students before school, during breaks and throughout the afternoon for extra tutoring and guidance. Student progress is monitored closely to identify students needing extra support. On occasion, some students work at their own pace to complete courses in a time span that fits their own needs. |
Suspensions and Expulsions
Data reported are the number
of suspensions and expulsions (i.e., the total number of incidents that result
in a suspension or expulsion). The rate of suspensions and expulsions is the
total number of incidents divided by the school's total enrollment as reported
by CBEDS for the given year. In unified school districts, a comparison between
a particular type of school (elementary, middle, high) and the district average
may be misleading. Schools have the option of comparing their data with the
district-wide average for the same type of school.

School Facilities
|
Central
Valley is a small continuation school with two classrooms, two restrooms and
one administration office. Heating
and cooling units are serviced or upgraded on a needed basis and fire
extinguishers and alarm boxes are serviced annually. The school randomly
conducts fire and earthquake drills to monitor alarm functionality. A phone
and intercom system is installed in each classroom to assist with emergency
and communication needs. All
facilities are cleaned and maintained on a daily basis by a competent and
efficient custodial staff. The campus is kept "graffiti free" as a
result of a KHSD unit that services every campus of the High School District. |
III. Academic Data
Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Through the California
Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, students in grades 2-11 are
tested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes
California Standards Tests (CST) in English-language arts and mathematics in
grades 2-11, science and history/social science in grades 9-11, and a
norm-referenced test, which tests reading, language, and mathematics in grades
2-11, spelling in grades 2-8, and science in grades 9-11.
California Standards Tests (CST)
The California Standards Tests
(CST) show how well students are doing in relation to the state content
standards. Student scores are reported as performance levels. The five
performance levels are Advanced (exceeds state standards), Proficient (meets
state standards), Basic (approaching state standards), Below Basic (below state
standards), and Far Below Basic (well below state standards). Students scoring
at the Proficient or Advanced level meet state standards in that content area.
Detailed information regarding results for each grade and proficiency level can
be found at the California Department of Education Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov
or by speaking with the school principal. Note: To protect student privacy,
scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.
CST - All Students
Data reported are the percent
of students achieving at the proficient or advanced level (meeting or exceeding
the state standard) and percent not tested. For mathematics, science, and
history/social science, data regarding the percent not tested, by grade level
and subgroup, are available at http://star.cde.ca.gov/.
