**[PART III -- SUMMARY]{.underline}**

**The summary is clear, coherent, and engaging. It provides an overall
picture of the school and includes ...a summary of the school's mission
or vision statement.**

Sunset School of the Arts is located in Arcata, California, a small
state university town on the redwood coast. Serving 246 students in
kindergarten through fifth grade, Sunset is one of three schools in the
Arcata Elementary School District. 53% of our students receive free or
reduced lunches, 78% are white, 8.9% are Hispanic, and others are Native
American, Asian, or African American. An after school day care program
is located on site.

An outstanding staff strives to fulfill Sunset's mission to "create a
balanced environment that nurtures and values both the academic and
artistic curricula." Sunset's commitment to the arts is readily
apparent. Murals decorate the walls of the school, dance classes or
drama rehearsals are taking place in the multi-purpose room, and framed
student art is displayed. Classroom teachers instruct students in the
foundations of art and integrate the arts into other subject areas. A
drama specialist and a visual arts specialist, supported in part by the
California Arts Council, and two credentialed music teachers provide
additional instruction in the arts, and guest artists frequently perform
at school assemblies.

Literacy has been the focus at Sunset for several years. In 1997,
Reading Recovery was implemented at Sunset. This intervention program
for at-risk readers continues to be funded by the School Site Council
(SSC), which is comprised of elected parents, teacher and staff
representatives and the principal, and oversees the school site budget.
Classrooms are well stocked with books. The principal's "Book Wagon,"
funded by the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), distributes books to
students who participate in the school-wide home reading program, and
the librarian coordinates the annual "Gold Medal Readathon."

Parents are committed to Sunset and support the school at home and
throughout the community. This support enables us to provide a safe and
nurturing environment in which all students can achieve. Events such as
Family Math Night, Literacy Night, Family Science Fair, the Winter
Sing-a-Long, the annual Contra Dance, and many student performances
bring families together and create a sense of community. The weekly
school newsletter, [Coyote Clips]{.underline}, keeps students and
families informed about school activities and events.

Sunset teachers involve students in the local community in meaningful
ways. During overnight camping trips, Sunset students might visit
historical sights such as the Tsumeg Native American Village at
Patrick's Point State Park or study the environment at Wolf Creek
Outdoor School. Service projects such as the California Beach Clean-Up,
performing at the Senior Community Center, or helping in the school-wide
recycling program provide students with opportunities to make a
contribution beyond the classroom. The student community council plans
and organizes spirit days, fundraising events for small school projects,
and activities for students at Sunset.

The sense of community experienced by students, staff, and parents at
Sunset promotes a climate of cooperation conducive to learning. Conflict
resolution techniques are taught in the classroom and implemented on the
playground, and lunchtime "Friendship Groups" for children who need
extra support are facilitated by the school psychologist. A Student
Study Team meets to explore intervention strategies for students
considered at risk. Sunset School's rich educational program provides
opportunities for all students to succeed.

**[PART IV -- INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS]{.underline}**

1\. Narrative to...describe the assessment results.

Sunset students in 2^nd^ through 5^th^ grades take the Stanford
Achievement Test Series, Ninth Edition (SAT 9) each May. This test
measures achievement in reading, language usage, spelling, and
mathematics. The test results show that Sunset students have made
significant growth for the fifth straight year.

The data display tables are arranged according to subject and grade
level. For each grade level there are tables of reading and mathematics
scores for each year from 1998 to 2002. In each table the scores
indicate totals for the grade as a whole, the number and percentage of
students who took the test, and the number and percentage of those who
were not tested on the SAT 9. The scores are then disaggregated to show
the Socio-Economically Disadvantaged (SED) students, the only
statistically significant subgroup identified by the California state
guidelines. The total score and the number of SED students that were
tested is recorded. For the sake of comparison, the total score and the
number of the non-SED students is shown.

The total reading and mathematics scores for all students by grade level
reveal significantly improved scores as the years progress. For example,
the 4^th^ grade reading scores

increased from 47 percent in 1998 to 77 percent in 2002, an increase of
30 percent. In mathematics, that same grade scored 35 percent in 1998
and 73 percent in 2002, an increase of 38 percent. The average increase
in scores for all grade levels in both subjects was 22.38 percent over
the five-year period.

Scores for the SED subgroup also improved significantly. For example,
the reading scores for 3^rd^ grade SED students increased from 27
percent in 1999 to 51 percent in 2002, an increase of 24 percent. In
mathematics those same students scored 24 percent in 1999 and 52 percent
in 2002, an increase of 28 percent. The average increase in scores in
both subjects for all SED students in all grade levels was 20.25 percent
over the four-year period. For non-SED students the 3^rd^ grade reading
scores increased by 22 percent, and the mathematics scores increased by
27 percent. The average increase in scores in both subjects for all the
non-SED students was 22.75 percent over the four-year period.

Following the progress of a cohort group through their years at Sunset
provides even more valuable information regarding student achievement.
For example, the cohort group in 2^nd^ grade in 1999 scored 50 percent
in reading. Three years later, as 5^th^ graders in 2002, their score had
increased to 82 percent, an increase of 32 percent. In mathematics that
cohort group of 2^nd^ graders who initially scored 59 percent scored 83
percent in 2002 as 5^th^ graders, an increase of 29 percent. The scores
of the SED subgroup cohorts also increased. For example, the students in
2^nd^ grade in 1999 scored 35 percent in reading. By 2002, as 5^th^
graders, they had increased their score for reading to 64 percent, an
increase of 29 percent. The pattern of increased scores is evident in
all grades and subgroups for all cohorts.

Since 1999 the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
system has included California content standard items on the California
Standards Test (CST). The CST scores in 2002 also demonstrate high
student achievement. The Sunset mean scaled scores for all students and
subgroups were higher than the state mean score in 2002. CST scores for
the SED students also improved. For example, in English/Language Arts,
the cohort group of 2^nd^ grade SED students scored 50 percent of the
average number correct in 1999. By 2001, as 4^th^ graders, their score
had increased to 65 percent resulting in an improvement of 15 percent.

**2. Show... how the school uses assessment data to understand and
improve student and school performance.**

District-wide meetings before the start of the school year provide
teachers with opportunities to discuss SAT-9 test scores. Subject-area
committees then meet to examine scores and determine which of the state
standards should be emphasized in order to improve student performance.
Because scores indicated that certain spelling and writing skills needed
to be emphasized, comprehensive writing and spelling programs were
adopted and are used across the grade levels. Currently, teachers are
using a newly adopted language arts program and a comprehensive battery
of reading and writing assessments (e.g. DRA, QRI-III, the Developmental
Spelling Inventory and Six-Traits Writing Rubrics) to determine
individual student achievement and to align classroom instruction with
state standards. Teachers plan small group activities implemented by
Title I paraprofessionals for students who are struggling in math and
reading. When assessment indicates that a student would benefit from
individual support, additional help from an Americorps tutor or the
Title IX Indian tutor may be arranged. Minimum days, staff meetings and
monthly grade-level meetings provide teachers with opportunities to
analyze student work samples in math and language arts and review the
state achievement standards.

A leadership team comprised of parents, staff, the principal, and the
county lead technical assistance provider carefully analyzed assessment
data when completing the needs assessment for Sunset's application for
school-wide Title I status. The improvement plan was built on the data
collected. The SSC annually reviews assessment date when making
decisions about programs and funding.

**3. Describe...how the school communicates student performance,
including assessment data, to parents, students, and the community.**

Parents are formally invited to attend conferences twice a year, but
teachers frequently meet with parents upon request when they feel a
conference is necessary to promote a student's success. SAT-9 scores,
which are mailed to parents during the summer, are discussed at the
first conference and report cards are used to convey the results of the
classroom assessment batteries. In K through 3^rd^ grades, report cards
indicate whether a student's mastery of the state standards for the
grade level is beginning, developing or independent and in 4^th^ and
5^th^ grades, achievement and effort grades are given in the subject
areas. Communication about student performance is an ongoing discussion
between teachers and individual students throughout the year. In 2^nd^
through 5^th^ grades, students may be invited to attend conferences to
discuss their report card and a self-assessment with their parents and
teacher. The report cards are reviewed annually and revised as necessary
to reflect state achievement standards.

Parents and the community at large are informed of student achievement
through the publication of an Annual School Report Card. This document
reports the performance of Sunset's 2^nd^ through 5^th^ grade students
on the SAT-9 test and charts the Academic Performance Index (API), which
compares Sunset to other California schools of comparable size and
student population. The Annual School Report Card is available in
Sunset's office to interested parents and community members and it is
posted online at the Arcata School District's website. SAT-9 and API
scores are also published in local newspapers.

**4. Describe...how the school will share its successes with other
schools.**

Sunset will share its Blue Ribbon program with other schools over the
Internet. Arcata School District's website posts the Annual School
Report Card and an overview of the school's program. Schools can
communicate with Sunset through an email link on the website and will be
able to access information from Sunset's Blue Ribbon School application
on the U.S. Department of Education's website.

As a school with strong community ties and an "open door policy" on-site
visits are welcomed. Sunset teachers expect to participate in regional
grade level meetings and classroom observations that will be offered
next year through the Humboldt County Office of Education (HCOE).
Through the quarterly Superintendents' Forum, the district
superintendent will offer opportunities to observe Sunset's programs to
other administrators.

Sunset School participated in the Region I High-Performing/High-Poverty
Schools Symposium with schools from five California counties. Sunset
shared instructional methods and school-wide programs that contribute to
student achievement and volunteered to participate in the on-line
discussion group. Currently many student teachers from HSU's credential
program complete their internships at Sunset and the knowledge they gain
will be reflected in their future careers as teachers. The Arcata School
District was selected to be involved in a partnership with HSU's "Center
for Educational Excellence, Collaboration, and Inquiry" to improve
education at all levels. It is planned that Sunset will become a
demonstration school for teachers, administrators and university
faculty.

## **PART V -- CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION**

**1. Describe...the curriculum...and show how all students are engaged
with significant content...**

Teachers at Sunset provide meaningful and engaging learning
opportunities that enable students to not only meet but exceed state
grade level standards for achievement.

Mathematics instruction focuses on computation, understanding concepts,
and problem solving appropriate for each grade level. Assessment is used
to determine students' prior knowledge and learning needs. The textbook
series is a systematic program for mathematics instruction that meets
the goals and expectations outlined in the state framework. Teachers use
materials and lessons from many resources to supplement the textbook and
provide intervention for students in need of remediation and extension
activities for high achieving students.

Sunset's language arts curriculum is aligned with the state framework
and outlines achievement standards in reading, writing, listening and
speaking. Teachers provide systematic instruction in skills and assist
students in applying those skills to other subjects. A research-based
language arts program, chosen from California's approved list of
adoptable materials, is used across grade levels. Teachers supplement
the basic text with leveled readers and books for independent reading in
many genres.

The California state science standards define essential skills and
knowledge for each grade level in life, earth, and physical sciences.
Teachers use investigations and experiments to provide students with
concrete experiences and opportunities to apply critical thinking and
mathematical skills. A state approved science program is used in
classrooms, and is supplemented with field trips to local habitats, the
Humboldt State University (HSU) science departments and Natural History
Museum. All students participate in the annual Family Science Night, and
many 3^rd^ through 5^th^ graders have received awards in the county
science fair.

State history-social science standards specify grade-level concepts in
history, geography, civics and economics. Literature, music, drama and
art are integrated into the curriculum. Field trips to historical sites
and museums, and guest speakers from our Native American community and
the Retired Senior Volunteer Program help students make connections with
common themes across cultures and throughout history. Teachers use HSU
resources such as the cartography lab to give students hands-on
experiences correlated with standards in geography and science.

Teachers utilize training in differentiating instruction in
mixed-ability classrooms and provide many types of learning experiences
to accommodate individual needs and learning styles. Students might
receive direct instruction from the teacher in a small group with others
who have similar skills, or work in a cooperative group on a project.
Enriched instruction is provided to Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)
students in the regular classroom. English Language Learners receive
instruction in the classroom and individual and small group instruction
outside the classroom. Support for students struggling to master the
standards includes tutoring by paraprofessionals before, during and
after school, remedial summer school classes, and Special Education
services.

**2. Describe...the school's reading curriculum, including a description
of why the school chose this particular approach to reading.**

Sunset's reading program is rooted in strong classroom instruction that
utilizes the teachers' collective knowledge of the reading process and
their expertise. Theory and practice described by authors such as
Fountas and Pinnell or Cunningham have given teachers a common language
for discussing and planning instruction. Teachers have participated in
workshops offered by Adria Klein, John Shefelbine, Anita Archer and
Richard Allington. The reading series adopted last year is based on
research in best teaching practices and is used to plan explicit,
systematic instruction aligned with rigorous California standards. The
balanced literacy program includes guided reading from leveled readers,
shared reading to model and practice specific skills, and independent
reading in many genres. Instruction is based on students' learning needs
as assessed in the classroom.

Reading Recovery is used as an early intervention program for first
grade. Literacy groups led by a trained Reading Recovery teacher
strengthen the reading skills of struggling first, second or third grade
readers and enable them to benefit from classroom instruction.
Paraprofessionals trained in literacy read familiar texts with 2^nd^
through 5^th^ graders to improve students' fluency and comprehension
skills. This combination of strong classroom teaching and intervention
for struggling readers has led to success as measured by SAT 9 scores.

3\. Describe ...one other curriculum area of the school's choice and
show how it relates to essential skills and knowledge based on the
school's mission.

Sunset's mission "...to create a balanced environment that nurtures and
values both the academic and artistic curricula," embraces the
California Challenge Standards for visual and performing arts. Studies
show a correlation between instruction in the arts and improved academic
achievement and social development. One such study, [Critical Links:
Learning in the Arts and Student Academic and Social
Development]{.underline} (2002) states that economically disadvantaged
students, those needing remedial instruction, and young children
experience the most gains from an arts education.

All students develop critical thinking, communication, and
problem-solving skills through Sunset's art curriculum. Children study
theatre arts with a drama teacher funded by a California Arts Council
grant and last year, a part-time dance specialist provided dance
instruction. This year we have a grant-funded visual arts specialist
offering classes in a variety of media, and two credentialed music
teachers provide music and instrumental instruction. Through
performances, students develop confidence, poise, respect for others'
differences, and learn positive means of self-expression. Studies show
that students' reading, language, and comprehension skills, and spatial
reasoning are improved simultaneously.

Arts instruction is delivered by specialists, and classroom teachers
instruct students in the foundations of the arts and integrate arts into
other subject areas. This instruction meets the state standards by
offering systematic, explicit arts instruction, skill development that
includes artistic perception and creative expression, historical and
cultural understanding, aesthetic valuing, and application of the arts
to other disciplines. At Sunset, the arts are taught for arts' sake, and
are integrated to enhance instruction in other curricula.

**4. Describe...the different instructional methods the school uses to
improve student learning.**

Teachers provide differentiated instruction in a variety of settings to
accommodate students' assessed needs. For example, in a 2^nd^ grade
classroom, students participate in small group instruction with the
teacher, independent practice of specific skills and a student-chosen
reinforcement activity. One day each week, the teacher facilitates a
whole-group investigation, such as a graphing activity. In a 4^th^ grade
classroom students receive reading instruction in a workshop format.
After a whole group skill lesson, students work with the teacher in
small guided-reading groups on narrative or expository texts, read
independently or with a partner, or work on a collaborative reading
project, such as making a graphic organizer. The workshop ends with a
whole class read-aloud that will be discussed in the next workshop.

Students who need further challenges are given assignments to extend
their learning. Tutoring is offered by paraprofessionals, Americorp
tutors, or HSU work-study students to those who need concept
reinforcement and remediation. If a student struggles with academic
issues, a Student Study Team made up of the student's parents, classroom
teacher, the principal, a special education teacher, the school
psychologist and the school nurse meets to discuss strategies to improve
the student's learning.

Field trips, guest speakers, and appropriate arts activities supplement
classroom instruction in all curricular areas. Sunset teachers
accommodate diverse learning styles by providing systematic instruction
in flexible groupings with opportunities for investigative discovery
across disciplines.

5\. Describe the school's professional development program and its
impact on improving student achievement.

Professional development is strongly supported by the school board and
the School Site Council because teacher training is correlated with
student achievement. A district in-service committee made up of teacher
representatives and an administrator meets during the summer to plan two
mandatory professional development days. The focus of these days is a
core curriculum area, and may be addressed by presenters from outside
the district or by faculty members with expertise in the curricular
area. The in-service committee also meets to select several
standards-aligned workshops and conferences, offered through the county
office of education or through HSU, which teachers can be paid to attend
outside of school hours with state funding specified for that purpose.
The School Site Council allocates funds for professional development and
pays for two teachers to continue their education in Reading Recovery.
The district has a Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) program in place to
allow teachers to formally assist colleagues in improving their teaching
skills. Teachers may use funds from this program to pay for workshops
and substitutes, and are encouraged to use Title II funds to pay for
courses in science and math. Staff meetings and grade level meetings are
used for discussion and reflection on delivering the curriculum.
Paraprofessionals are included as partners in implementing plans for at
risk students and have received extensive training in literacy and math
instruction. We believe that the school-wide emphasis on literacy
training for teachers and paraprofessionals since 1999 has directly
contributed to an increase in reading scores.

FOR GRADES 2 THROUGH 5

1998 - 2002

**The information in this box applies to all grade levels tested at
Sunset School, in Reading/Language Arts and Math, over the five-year
period recorded on the data display tables.**

**Test:** Stanford Achievement Test Series (SAT 9)

**Edition/Publication Year:** Ninth Edition, 1996

**Publisher:** Harcourt Brace and Company

**What groups were excluded from testing?**

# A California State Board of Education statute requires that all California schools administer the SAT 9 to all students in grades 2 through 11, with some exemptions. At Sunset some Special Education students were exempt due to severe disabilities, and their Individual Education Plans (IEPs) required alternative assessment. Other students were excluded from testing due to parent/guardian written requests, or because they were absent.

**Why and how were they assessed?**

Students who did not take the SAT 9 were assessed using
district-developed multiple measures for language arts and math, student
portfolios, and self-assessments.

**Scores are reported here as:** National Percentile Rank

STATE CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTS

FOR GRADES 2 THROUGH 5

2000 -- 2002

**The information in this box applies to all grade levels tested at
Sunset School, in English/Language Arts and Mathematics, over the
five-year period recorded on the tables.**

**Test:** California Augmented STAR 1999

California Standards Tests for 2000, 2001, 2002

**Edition/Publication Year:** Ninth Edition, 1996

**Publisher:** Harcourt Brace and Company

**What groups were excluded from testing?**

# Some Special Education students were exempt due to severe disabilities, and their Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) required alternative assessment. Other students were excluded from testing due to parent/guardian written requests, and others because they were absent.

**Why and how were they assessed?**

District assessment tools were used to inform teachers and parents of
student achievement three times per year. Students excluded from the
tests were assessed using district-developed multiple measures for
language arts and math, student portfolios, teacher observations, and
self-assessments.

**Number excluded:** (See Tables, per individual test) **Percent
excluded:** (See Tables)

Over the past four years the Stanford Achievement Test Series, Ninth
Edition, has included questions that reflect California's evolving
content standards in English/Language Arts, and Mathematics.

[NOTE]{.underline}: Empty cells on data display tables do not indicate
omissions (unless otherwise noted). Each year a different rubric and/or
performance measure was used due to different state testing and
reporting systems, which does not allow comparison of scores across the
years.
