# Blue Ribbon School Application

# Ranch Hills Elementary School

**Part III** **[Summary]{.underline}**

Ranch Hills, located in Pomona, California, is one of 27 elementary
schools in the Pomona Unified School District of Los Angeles County. Our
school's population of 490 students is remarkably diverse, with over
twenty different home languages spoken. Colorful flags from around the
world are proudly displayed in the Ranch House (cafeteria) to reflect
the diversity of our "Rattlers" (28% white; 32% Hispanic; 17% Asian; 14%
African American; 7% Filipino and 2% Other). Differences are valued and
celebrated, enriching the lives of the students and our school
environment. Despite the student's cultural, ethnic and language
differences, our school community has much in common. Staff, parents and
the community work in partnership in the development of high quality
instructional programs, increased student learning and the continuous
improvement of the school. We are united to do "whatever it takes" to
meet the needs of all students.

Our friendly, western theme at Ranch Hills invites you to tether your
horse, leave your boots at the door, and mosey on in for a closer look
at our attractive, clean, safe, and secure campus. As you stop by the
front office for a steaming cup of coffee, take time to read our vision
statement and motto posted on the wall. True to our word, staff,
parents, and community members are committed to the vision of providing
a quality education that "empowers all students to realize their highest
academic potential, exhibit positive character traits, maintain physical
and social well- being to become lifelong learners in our ever-changing,
culturally diverse world." Our school motto, "We Reach To Teach, They
Yearn To Learn" reflects and encapsulates our vision for all students.
All students have potential --we expect success!

As we continue on our journey, visit the Kindergarten Corral on the edge
of Saddle Sore Square where you might catch big and little buddies
sharing snacks and stories from around the world. Volunteer parents can
be seen in the library, Study Stable, supporting literacy by helping
students access print materials across the curriculum. Students are
using their technological expertise in our fully equipped computer lab,
the Multimedia Mesa, to create interactive books and classroom
presentations. Take a peek in the Resource Room where special needs
students work as reading "pardners" to tackle grade level standards.
Wind your way through Desperado Gully and peer into a classroom for a
glimpse of students engaged in a rich variety of standards-based
learning experiences. The walls are alive with dioramas,
student-authored books, charts, graphs, student-designed games, and
poetry showcasing student successes. These authentic assessment
opportunities are used along with standardized test results and
district-wide benchmark assessments to guide instruction and monitor
student progress.

Character Education is a high priority at Ranch Hills and is the
foundation of our school climate. It is our expectation that each
student, through the implementation of core values, demonstrates
expected standards of citizenship. Each month a core value is
highlighted, posted in the classrooms and integrated within the
curriculum. Our daily morning message reminds students to be the best
that they can be, and reinforces positive character traits. A
school-wide student pledge is recited daily to reinforce the "I Can"
attitude.

Our high achievement is a reflection of the combined efforts of the
Ranch Hills' family: hard working, passionate teachers, blazin' a trail
for student success, always seeking ways to improve lesson design and
instructional delivery; an accommodating, cooperative support staff who
work in conjunction with the teachers to assist students in maintaining
progress; energetic, enthusiastic students who come to class prepared
and ready to meet the challenges of the day and parents who are
scattered throughout the school lending a helping hand to teachers and
students alike.

We, the Ranch Hills School community, believe in people, with students
as the primary focus, never compromising integrity and teamwork in the
development of the whole child while pursuing the LOVE OF LEARNING. In
true "pioneer spirit" Ranch Hills continues to explore new frontiers
maintaining a tradition of excellence, always striving to be the "Best
in the West."

# Part IV - Indicators of Academic Success 

**IV.1** **[School Assessment Results]{.underline}**

Ranch Hills' success is evidenced by high academic achievement and the
strength of our standards-based program. We have a well-established
External and Internal Accountability System based on State and District
Content Standards in place to monitor student achievement and promote
instructional change. The External System is an annual accountability
structure consisting of the State Assessment Accountability Report
(STAR), which assesses students on the Content Standards Test (CST) and
the California Assessment Test (CAT 6). Our CST results are reported as
levels: Advanced, Proficient, Basic, Below Basic and Far Below Basic.
Students meeting or exceeding grade level standards are scoring in the
Proficient and Advanced ranges. Students scoring below those two levels
are provided with interventions and additional support. Presently our
Academic Performance Index is 878. Based on our Adequate Yearly
Progress, (AYP) 68.7% of the students in 2^nd^-6^th^ grade have reached
proficiency in Language Arts and 72% have attained proficient or
advanced levels in mathematics. Our four main subgroups are Asian,
Hispanic/Latino, White and Socio/Economically Disadvantaged. Test data
for our subgroups has been disaggregated and an examination of the
results in Language Arts, shows that all groups made gains except our
Asian subgroup, which dropped 9% points from 79% proficient/advanced. In
mathematics, all of our subgroups dropped an average of seven points.
This information led to a revised pacing schedule, increased
interventions and intense monitoring of student progress within these
subgroups.

Students also take the CAT 6, a norm-referenced assessment, to provide
the school with additional data to guide instruction and make program
improvements. The results are stated as national percentiles based on a
comparison of our students against a norm-referenced group. The
following is the percentage of students scoring above the 75^th^ NPR:

**Reading Language Math Spelling** **Reading Language Math Spelling**

Second: 54% 48% 81% 73%

Third: 18% 27 % 37% 45%

Fourth: 33 % 53% 71% 57%

Fifth: 40% 41% 41% 38%

Sixth: 29 % 40 % 61% 56%

Twice a year all English Language Learners (ELLs) take the California
English Language Development Test that measures progress towards English
language proficiency in the areas of listening/speaking, reading and
writing. The CELDT results indicate that 33% of our students are at the
Advanced Level, 24% Early Advanced, 24% at the Intermediate Level, 12%
Early Intermediate Level and 6% at the Beginning Level. These results
help us to streamline our efforts in meeting the needs of our ELLs in
fluency, language development, and writing.

Our Internal system is composed of District Wide Assessments (DWA),
based on benchmarks in reading, math and writing; a Diagnostic Reading
Assessment (DRA); Basic Reading Inventory (BRI); monthly writing
prompts; Houghton Mifflin summative, theme and skills tests; Harcourt
Brace math chapter and unit tests; Accelerated Reader quizzes and tests;
reading logs; teacher created tests that assess individual standards;
various criterion referenced exams in social studies and science,
presentations and projects. Our DWA results in reading/math are listed
as percentiles of students mastering the objectives:

**First Grade**: 97% Language Arts/ 96% Math

**Second**: 87% Language Arts/ 95% Math

**Third**: 83% Language Arts/ 88% Math

**Fourth**: 69% Language Arts/ 74% Math

**Fifth**: 75% Language Arts/ 87% Math

**Sixth**: 72% Language Arts/ 75% Math

Writing is a school-wide focus area. Students in fourth grade take the
STAR writing test in the spring. Results over a three-year period show
that we are moving our students from levels 2-3 into the 4-5 level. Our
goal is to have at least 50% or more of our students at the 6-7 level
and 10% at the highest level (8) based on a 2-8 rubric. In order to
accomplish this goal, teachers have created monthly grade level prompts,
which are scored in grade level teams. All teachers are required to have
"Writing On The Wall," writing portfolios, writing conferences with the
principal and grade level action plans.

We use testing as a means of diagnosis and it is one of the best ways to
determine if all students are learning. Local and site assessments are
linked with the statewide external system to measure progress in that
both systems are assessing student progress toward meeting the
standards.

The California state and district standards at Ranch Hills have been
identified, paced and aligned with the district wide assessment system,
the STAR program and the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE).

For further information, see the state assessment website
http://star.cde.ca.gov.

**IV.2 [How the School uses Assessment Data to Improve Student
Achievement and School Performance ]{.underline}**

The ultimate goal of No Child Left Behind legislation is for all
students to achieve at the Proficient and/or Advanced Performance levels
by the year 2013-2014 in Language Arts and Mathematics. By analyzing the
results of multiple measures, we are able to increase student
achievement by identifying strengths and weaknesses in our programs,
targeting essential standards, and refining instructional strategies.

As part of the Academic Plan for Student Achievement (APSA), the staff
participates in a school-wide and grade level process that synthesizes
and integrates the results of our test data analysis into specific
action plans. This process involves analyzing past performance,
determining present needs, setting targeted performance gains and
developing interventions to meet academic goals. This data analysis
becomes the blueprint by which we measure the effectiveness of our
standards-based instructional program.

Our Data Action Team, which consists of one teacher at each grade level,
chairs monthly Structured Teaching Planning Time (STPT). Through the
leadership of this team, teachers analyze the results of their interim
data (DWA) as well as student work samples to guide/ adjust/modify
instruction, revisit the focus areas, isolate "what's working and what's
not," rubric writing assessments, implement plans to extend the student
day through standards-aligned homework, discuss new programs and the
"next steps" in our improvement plan to increase student achievement.
Teachers at each grade level accept shared responsibility for the
achievement of all students regardless in whose class they reside.

As a result of our assessment data analysis and STPT, the staff agreed
to provide a school-wide after school program to support the learning of
those students not meeting grade level standards. Teachers volunteer
their time to work with students in small group settings to support our
focus areas of literacy, writing, and problem solving.

The staff also uses technology to check and re-check student progress
using the district's Internet data collection site, RxNet. Teachers can
access the STAR, DWA, and CELDT data for their students, download a
Multiple Assessment Report that will provide individual data with
proficiency levels on the Content Standards, percentages on the CAT 6
and Language Proficiency. A Grouping Status Report delineates the
students who have not mastered particular standards so teachers can
provide differentiated instruction such as flexible groups, centers,
homework, tiered activities and ongoing informal assessment.

In keeping with our western theme to assure that our Rattlers improve
academically, we implement the Sow, Grow, Plow and Harvest Plan, a tool
that streamlines our effort in increasing student achievement in
identifying what needs to be done based on the data (Sow), teach the
standards (Grow), assess progress (Plow) and discuss the next steps
(Harvest). Our purpose is to have our teachers use data continuously,
collaboratively and effectively to improve teaching and learning
school-wide.

**IV.3** **[How the School Communicates Student Performance to Parents,
Students and Community]{.underline}**

Ranch Hills' teachers keep in close contact with parents through
informal weekly progress reports, parent teacher conferences, phone
calls, notes home and classroom newsletters. Information is provided to
parents through the use of translators and translated documentation as
needed. Assessment data is shared with the parents through School Site
Council (SSC), English Learner Advisory Council (ELAC), PTA
presentations, school/ district publications and parent-teacher
conferences.

Our **"Standards for Success**" meetings are held each year in September
and early October. These well-attended grade level evening meetings are
calendared to inform parents about Ranch Hills' standards-based program.
The meetings begin with the video, [California's Commitment: Raising
Academic Standards for All Students]{.underline}, which sets the stage
for discussion of assessments, accountability and school improvement. We
review STAR (CST and CAT 6 data) as well as the school's Academic
Performance Index (API). Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and Annual
Measurable Objectives (AMO) are explained to the parents in the context
of No Child Left Behind Legislation. State/district standards are
explained in depth and "unwrapped" to provide further clarification.
Teachers share student work samples to illustrate grade-level content
and expectations. For example, parents were provided an overview of the
writing standards and then given actual writing samples to score and
rubric. This activity provided parents with an idea of the high
expectations that we hold for each student. Parents also learn
strategies for home use in helping children improve and reach their
highest potential. Parents are informed as to how their children are
performing in meeting the standards through state STAR test reports,
formal progress reports every six weeks, report cards, parent teacher
conferences, and RxNet Parent Reports that list the standards as
mastered or non-mastered three times a year. Our monthly newsletter,
*Rattler Tattler*, school programs, and committee work, as well as
on-line parent communication, provide additional vehicles to inform our
parents about student achievement. The School Accountability Report Card
(SARC) is available to provide further information to our parents and
community about the school.

Students are kept abreast of their progress in an effort to increase
their achievement. They monitor their progress on charts and set goals
through the computerized program within the Accelerated Reader program.
Students have been taught to self and peer edit using checklists,
models, posted rubrics and teacher-student conferences. Test results are
shared with the students and timely feedback is provided. Content
standards are posted in kid friendly language to guide the students as
to what they are learning daily in the core subject areas. Student-led
parent conferences allow students to reflect upon both strengths and
areas of concern, while setting their own learning goals.

**IV. 4** **[How the School Has Shared and Will Continue to Share Its
Successes With Other Schools]{.underline}**

Ranch Hills shares its successes with other schools by welcoming teams
of visitors from outside and within the district. Administrators
throughout the district attend professional development days after
school to further refine their craft, share successes and discuss
"burning issues." Principals also meet monthly at the district office to
share effective strategies, accountability systems, and improvement
plans.

Ranch Hills is an integral member of Cluster 4, comprised of 5
elementary schools, a middle school and high school. Parent Nights are
held on campuses affording the opportunity to learn more about
curriculum, special programs, student expectations and preparing for the
next challenge. Cluster area principals meet to conduct observations and
classroom walk-throughs, providing feedback to the host principal. We
brainstorm new strategies and take back to the sites, "What's Working!"

Two of our teachers were selected to present their programs to other
teachers and administrators at the district's annual summer institute,
which focused on reading and writing.

*Campus Scenes*, a district newspaper that is published quarterly is
sent out to every school and home. Each school is provided space to
publicize the events and programs taking place at the school. The
school- wide achievement results are published in local newspapers and
awards are presented at school board meetings.

Our state of the art marquee located in the front of the school
spotlights upcoming events and school accomplishments such as **"*Yahoo!
We're A Distinguished School, Thanks to You!"***

# Part V - Curriculum and Instruction 

# V.1 [The Core of Each Curricular Area (VAPA Included) and How All Students Are Engaged With Significant Content Based Standards]{.underline}

Ranch Hills' rigorous curriculum is aligned with state and national
standards. All students at Ranch Hills receive a comprehensive, balanced
curriculum based on high expectations in Reading/Language Arts,
Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Visual and Performing Arts and
Physical Education.

The standards in the core subject areas drive the curriculum. Teachers
spend countless hours in grade level configurations reviewing and
mapping the standards, aligning the materials, and creating lessons to
supplement state adopted texts.

**Harcourt Mathematics**: Our balanced math curriculum encompasses the
five strands of number sense, measurement and geometry,
algebra/functions, statistics, data analysis, probability and
mathematical reasoning. Students are able to relate everyday problems to
mathematics using charts and graphs to explain solutions, as well as
using cooperative hands-on learning activities. Manipulatives are used
to deepen concept understanding and strengthen the connection between
the concrete and symbolic stages. Math Steps, our supplemental program,
provides ongoing practice with skills and sub-skills outlined by state
standards. Another program, Excel Math, spirals mathematical concepts
and provides additional daily practice to ensure mastery of standards.
Upper grade students climb to new heights with Mountain Math,
reinforcing their computational skills. The result is a curriculum that
produces results!

**Houghton Mifflin Reading/ Language Arts:** Listening, speaking,
reading and writing are the heart of our Language Arts program. Our
comprehensive integrated standards-based program develops fluency, oral
language, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension skills
through rich literature, high quality instruction and a variety of
resources. Students are encouraged to read to learn. Our independent
reading program, Accelerated Reader (Reading Rodeo), has been
instrumental in increasing literacy as well as test scores. Reading is a
school priority and students are expected to have a library book, "their
other textbook," with them at all times. Students read books, take
computer-generated tests, and accumulate points. Successes are
celebrated and rewarded throughout the year. The definitive goal of our
program is to create a campus community of readers.

**Science**: Earth, life and physical sciences are an integral part of
our science curriculum. Investigation and experimentation allow students
to makes connections between science and the study of nature. Students
engage in projects and simulations, cooperative teaming, and thematic
cross-curricular activities and projects to deepen their understanding
and enrich the learning of concepts. Field trips to zoos, ocean
institutes, sixth grade Science Camp, museums, and the Science Center
expand learning opportunities for our students. Students use the school
garden to plant seeds and watch them sprout, learn about soil, draw
sunflowers, track the coming of spring with the tulip plant project,
create a weather station, take measurements and incorporate basic
mathematical skills.

**Social Studies**: Our history/social studies program is standards
driven. Students examine the chronological study of history, learn about
geography, and develop an understanding and knowledge about the United
States and major civilizations as well. The concept of change and
continuity is a common thread that runs through the program, informing
students about individuals, events and ideas that create change and
order. The multi-cultural aspect of American society is also studied to
provide an appreciation and respect for cultures different from our own.
As part of our character education program, the core values of
Tolerance, Respect, Responsibility and Citizenship are an integral part
of this curriculum. These values are viewed as a benchmark with which we
judge ourselves as well as others. Students are engaged through the
identification of cause and effect, examine varied points of view, form
opinions and draw conclusions about the past, present and future.
Timelines, multimedia presentations and reports figure prominently in
our explorations of history. Embedded at all grade levels of HSS are a
set of critical thinking and analysis skills.

**Visual and Performing Arts**: Ranch Hills is committed to the
importance of the arts as a part of a balanced curriculum. Art, Music
and Drama make up the core of our program. Students analyze, create and
evaluate for a variety of purposes. Fourth through sixth grade students
are provided with ninety minutes a week from district visual and
performing art teachers to explore drama, art and music. Our Rattlin'
Band performs at assemblies and the spring concert. Students dress up as
famous characters and present oral reports. A clothespin replica of an
ancestor is created and displayed along with a written biography.

Integration within the content areas allows teachers to use a thematic
approach to encourage students to explore, interpret and engage in
learning activities that draw on standards from many subject areas and
is yet another way to help students become more knowledgeable. Student
projects and artwork are displayed throughout the campus, reflecting
creativity and core instruction.

All students have the opportunity to participate in service learning
projects such as Jump Rope For Heart, tutoring, campus clean up efforts,
Toys for Tots, Cents For Tsunami, St. Jude's Mathathon, the school
garden and the "Shoes That Fit" program, donating shoes and clothing to
students in neighboring schools within the district. These projects
enable our students to help others that are less fortunate, while
serving their community and developing responsibility, academic
abilities and the skills to be productive members in the work force of
the 21st century.

**V.2 [Our Reading Program and Why We Use This Approach ]{.underline}**

*A Legacy of Literacy* is Ranch Hills' Language Arts program. It is
built upon systemic instruction that is aligned with the California
content standards and provides diagnostic and explicit support in all
components of a comprehensive and balanced program. In addition, it
develops beginning reading success, fosters independent and confident
readers, and provides consistent development of comprehension
strategies. One reason the staff chose this program was due to the
built- in spiral review of standards and the adoption addresses the full
range of learners in each classroom through a variety of resources, such
as extra support for at risk learners, lessons for English Language
Learners and challenge activities. Technology is integrated throughout
the program to further support the curriculum in writing, penmanship and
practice. Content area links help make the connections between the
standards in math, science, and history/social science. The program
focuses on direct instruction, modeling various strategies including
predicting, high-level questioning, reciprocal teaching, clarifying and
summarizing. In planning instruction and designing learning experiences
for all students, teachers use the ABC approach: **A**ccess prior
knowledge, **B**uild new information, and **C**larify key vocabulary.
Our phonics program is supplemented with Zoo phonics, Rebecca Sitton's
Spelling Program, Working with Words and word wall building. Bloom's
Taxonomy is utilized to promote creative and critical thinking.

# V.3 [A Curricular Area and How It Relates to Essential Skills and Knowledge based on the School's Mission]{.underline} 

Essential standards have been identified in all core areas. However, we
believe that writing across the curriculum supports our standards-based
curriculum and our mission for all children to reach their highest
academic potential and become life long learners. The ability to write
effectively is a skill all students need to be successful communicators
throughout their educational careers and the world of work.

Writing across the curriculum is a school-wide commitment to help
understand the expectations of a competent writer.

Ranch Hills' writing is standards-based. It includes the applications of
narrative, descriptive, persuasive, expository, response to literature
and summary. Our program involves directed writing instruction, writer's
workshop, modeled and shared writing, interactive writing, class
stories, and a new program called Write Source, which focuses on the six
traits of writing. All students learn to pre-write, write, revise and
edit their work. Teachers at each grade level have developed action
plans for writing that includes objectives, activities, monthly prompts,
kid-friendly rubrics and an assessment plan. Students write daily for a
variety of purposes: quick writes, journals, summaries, thinking maps,
poems, parodies, similes, essays, paragraphs and stories. It is
important that our students are comfortable with writing and begin to
appreciate writing as a tool for clarifying their thoughts. The
students' writing assignments are meaningful, relevant and shared with
others. Opportunities are provided to share their work with " big
buddies," publish their work in school newsletters, classroom displays,
and author's share.

Through assessment, students reflect on their own growth and use models
of good writing to analyze and assess strengths and needs. Writing is an
important tool for learning in all subject areas. Students are writing
to learn. Students use technology to write, revise and format. We are
proud to note that many Ranch Hills' Rattlers have been awarded prizes
for their writing and have their stories published in anthologies.

**V.4 [Different Instructional Methods To Improve Student Learning
]{.underline}**

Effective instruction is the single most important determinant of
student achievement.

Ranch Hills' beliefs about teaching and learning have guided the staff
and held them accountable for implementing the curriculum and providing
instruction that they know propel learning. In the fall of 2003, we
participated in What Works in Schools Online Survey. The questionnaire
was based on a published meta-analysis of the past 35 years of
educational research and identified 11 factors that lead to increases in
student achievement. The feedback that our school received helped us to
address specific areas of need and to focus our school improvement
efforts. The survey consisted of school, teacher and student level
factors. Our needs were identified in the teacher level area of
instructional strategies. The research that Marzano identified in his
book are the nine research-based practices that maximize student
achievement: *Identifying Similarities and Differences, Summarizing and
Note Taking, Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition, Homework and
Practice, Nonlinguistic Representations, Cooperative Learning, Setting
Objectives and Providing Feedback, Generating and Testing Hypotheses,
Cues, Questions and Advance Organizers.* At staff meetings we isolate a
single strategy and discuss how we can implement it in the classroom.
During STPT, teams further discuss the strategy in depth, embed it into
instructional planning and share the effectiveness of the strategy in
increasing student achievement. The principal looks for evidence of
these in lesson plans, walk-throughs, and student work samples.

**V.5 [Professional Development Program and Its Impact On Improving
Student Achievement ]{.underline}**

The driving force behind the success of the school is a cadre of
teachers who are themselves life-long learners. We use the assessment
results to make decisions in "light of the data" and not in "spite of
the data." It's the catalyst for planning our Professional Development
Program.

Ranch Hills' belief in the value of professional development is
reflected in the staff's participation in a wide variety of educational
opportunities sponsored by the district, site and/or county offices of
education.

The main thrust of our professional development plan for this year is
the implementation of research based strategies school-wide. Our
long-range plan includes ongoing training of the strategies that support
the Six Traits of Writing, California Standards For The Teaching
Profession, and Standards Based Lesson Design.

During the year, three student-free staff development days are devoted
to professional development. We have had training on writing, reading
comprehension strategies, differentiation, garden-based education,
research-based strategies, standards based learning, pacing and aligning
instruction, professional learning communities and book talks.

Through AB466 training, teachers in fourth-sixth grade participated in
an 8-day training on mathematical strategies, the use of manipulatives,
problem solving and math applications. During a five day intensive K-6
Literacy Training, teachers became knowledgeable of the stages within
the reading process, how to integrate listening, speaking, reading and
writing throughout the curricular areas and effective literacy
strategies such as prediction, think aloud protocol, cueing, Socratic
questioning and Directed Reading and Thinking Activities (DRTA).
Instructional Services coordinates training for teachers to support the
district's focal areas within the school day, after school, and on
student free days. Curricular mapping, writing workshops, and new
adoptions are among the topics presented. Teachers also attend
conferences and workshops in teams to facilitate application of new
research and pedagogy into their curriculum planning, instruction and
assessment. New teachers are embraced by grade level team members who
lend a "willing ear and hand" to offer support regarding instructional
programs, school policies and discipline. New teachers are also invited
to join the principal and other staff members for "Donuts and Dialogue".

The district provides a variety of opportunities for Professional
Development through the Practitioners' College to guide and support all
administrators in an effort to improve the teaching and learning of all
students and staff. Through the Practitioners' College seminars are
offered in each of the four strands to teach foundational skills in
Literacy/ Student Achievement, Quality Personnel and Evaluation, School
Climate/Conflict Resolution, and Technology Support for Student
Achievement. The information from these trainings are brought back to
the site to provide another layer in continuing our professional growth
to meet the needs of all students to improve academic performance. The
core of our professional development program is to increase the
knowledge and skills of principals, teachers and parents in order to
model the work of learning and holding everyone accountable for their
contributions.
