San Francisco high school graduation rate increases with help from mentor program |
|
When Kamiah Brown was a freshman at Raoul Wallenberg Traditional High School in San Francisco, she sometimes felt lost and discouraged in the classroom. As one of 21 African-American students in her class of 164, there were few faces that looked like hers. But Brown found mentorship and role models in two African American “success liaisons.” These district staff members, plus a separate nonprofit called SEO Scholars, helped her study for the SAT, polish her college application essay, gather college recommendation letters and apply for summer internships.

L.A. Unified’s ban on willful defiance suspensions, six years later |
|
Long before California banned suspensions for “willful defiance” or disruption of school activities in K-8 classrooms, Los Angeles Unified embarked on an even more ambitious goal: eliminate defiance suspensions entirely. Six years after it implemented the policy, L.A. Unified officials, advocates and students say they’ve seen dramatic improvements in campus culture at many schools, providing lessons for California as it attempts to reshape school discipline across the state.

Some ratings rise in 3rd year of California School Dashboard |
|
Significantly fewer school districts will require county help this year for poor performance on the state’s school accountability tool, the California School Dashboard, reflecting what State Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond called “steady — albeit slow — progress in important areas” such as high school graduation rates and, by one measure, test scores.

Why Understanding A Student's Preschool Life May Be Key To Raising LAUSD Graduation Rates |
|
Almost 31,000 children attend some kind of early childhood program in the Los Angeles Unified School District, but that system isn't well connected to the district's elementary and high schools. That means it's hard for teachers to understand a student's background and where they need help when they enter K-12 schools.
Now the district has a strategic plan to change that.
