About This School


Welcome to Hornbrook Elementary School. Hornbrook Elementary is a K-8 school that serves approximately 50 students. We are a feeder school to Yreka High School that has a student population of 750. Most of the students are Caucasian with a few Hispanic and American Indian students. Eighty five percent of the students receive free and reduced meals. The teaching staff is composed of three full-time teachers, three part-time paraprofessionals, and administrative assistant, a cook-cafeteria manager, bus driver/maintenance person and a part-time administrator. The community is small, located in rural Northern California just below the Oregon border and 15 miles north of Yreka. The community is supported with several resorts and retirement centers adjacent to the Klamath River. Most families must commute to employment outside of Hornbrook. Hornbrook Elementary is a basic aid district, drawing it’s revenue from the tax base of the Irongate/Copco Dam area.

 

Vision/Mission Statement

Hornbrook Elementary School’s vision is to ensure that a partnership is developed between students, parents, staff and community so:

  • Students and staff are equipped with the necessary skills to access, process and apply information to problems and decisions.
  • Students are taught to be responsible and safe in a nurturing learning environment.
  • Students experience success in a world where learning never ends.

 

Our motto is simple: “Working Together, To Build Student Success, in a Caring Place.”

 

Our goals is to equip students with the necessary skills to prepare them for the rigors of high school, pass the California High School Exit exam, acquire meaningful employment and obtain additional education in pursuit of a career.

 

This past year has been one of focusing on a standards-based educational system as evidenced by:

a)      Purchasing standards-aligned textbooks in reading/language arts, mathematics and history/social studies.

b)      Teacher training in reading/language arts and

c)      Research-based staff meetings.

 

This year we have received a $50,000 High Priority Grant to align us with effective instructional practices so all students achieve grade level content standards.  This implies more training, purchasing state adopted Science materials and intensive intervention programs.

Summary of Most Recent Site Inspection


Hornbrook Elementary provides a well-maintained and safe school facility. The maintenance staff conducts daily and monthly inspections of the school facilities to correct items that do not meet standards. In addition, a security camera surveys main areas of the facility twenty-four hours per day. The maintenance staff (of one) routinely cleans and services each classroom and all adjacent offices and buildings on a daily basis. The school grounds, classrooms and restrooms are exceptionally clean and in good working order.

 

Annually, the Board updates the district’s five-year deferred maintenance plan to address short and long-term maintenance needs of the school. The district employs a part-time bus driver/maintenance person (.90 FTE) who works during the school day. The position is approximately six hours maintenance and one hour 20 minutes for transportation. The school is approximately 70 years old. A gymnasium was added 32 years ago as well as two additional classrooms. There are six regular classrooms, a library, gymnasium, cafeteria and an office. There are two athletic fields and a well equipped playground that meets safety standards. The library is stocked with books on loan from the County Office of Education’s Library and two computers. Two of three regular classrooms have computers with internet access.  The office also has two computers; one for the administrative secretary and one for the Superintendent/Principal. The District is currently reassessing it’s technology needs, including modernization of the telephone system and perhaps exploring the cost of modernization of the school facilities.

 

Repairs Needed


Based on a Spring 2006 pest inspection, we determined that immediate action was needed to eliminate termites on the exterior of the main building.

 

Corrective Actions Taken or Planned


During the Summer 2006 the exterior walls of the main building were replaced and painted using deferred maintenance funds of approximately $35,000.

Substitute Teacher Availability
This section provides information about the availability of qualified substitute teachers and the impact of any difficulties in this area on the school's instructional program.

 At a minimum, substitute teachers must have a Bachelor’s Degree and have passed the CBEST, a test given to all beginning teachers. Typically, the district uses a list of substitutes provided by the Siskiyou County Office of Education. The district has had problems in acquiring qualified substitute teachers. It is believed that this had an adverse effect on the instructional program.


Teacher Evaluation Process
This section provides information about the procedures and the criteria for teacher evaluations.

 Teachers are held accountable through the new evaluation procedure based on the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. Teachers are evaluated annually. It is based on their adherence to curricular objectives, suitable learning environment, progress towards content standards and instructional techniques and strategies used. The overall purpose of evaluation is to improve the quality of instruction. A credentialed and trained administrator evaluates teachers. The administrator is required to update his competence annually.

Norm-Referenced Test (NRT)
The norm-referenced test (NRT), currently the California Achievement Test, Sixth Edition (CAT/6), shows how well students are doing compared to students nationally in reading, language, spelling, and mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only. The results are reported as the percent of tested students scoring at or above the national average (the 50th percentile). Detailed information regarding NRT results for each grade level can be found at the CDE Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov/. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.

IX. Accountability

Academic Performance Index

The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/.

API Ranks -- Three-Year Comparison
This table displays the school's statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest 10 percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest 10 percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched "similar schools." A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school's academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing 10 schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school's academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

State Award and Intervention Programs
This section will contain information about the school's participation in various state intervention and award programs only to the extent these programs were funded for the period addressed by this report.

 
 
 


Adequate Yearly Progress
The federal NCLB act requires that all schools and districts meet the following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria:

  • Participation rate on the state's standards-based assessments in English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics
  • Percent proficient on the state's standards-based assessments in ELA and mathematics
  • API as an additional indicator
  • Graduation rate (for secondary schools)

Detailed information about AYP, including participation rates and percent proficient results by student group, can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/.

Federal Intervention Program
Schools and districts receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement (PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area (English-language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (API or graduation rate). After entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Detailed information about PI identification can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/.

Completion of High School Graduation Requirements
Beginning with the graduating class of 2006, students in California public schools must pass both the English-language arts and mathematics portions of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) to receive a high school diploma. For students who began the 2005-06 school year in the 12th grade, this table displays by student group the percent of students who met all state and local graduation requirements for grade 12 completion, including having passed both portions of the CAHSEE or received a local waiver or state exemption. Due to the state's collection schedule for high school completion data, state level data for this reporting element will not be available for report cards published in the 2006-07 school year. Detailed information about the CAHSEE can be found at the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/hs/. Note: "N/A" means that the student group is not numerically significant.

X. Instructional Planning and Scheduling

School
Instruction and Leadership

This section provides information about the structure of the school's instructional program and the experience of the school's leadership team.

 Hornbrook Elementary School is moving towards a standards-based educational system. In reading/language arts, mathematics and history social studies, students receive instruction based on content standards embedded in the publisher’s curricular materials, whereas, in science teachers must manipulate the curriculum so it focuses on the content standards. The goal is that all students will demonstrate mastery of the content standards by subject area. Additional intervention programs (after-school program and intensive intervention program in reading/language arts) are in the process of implementation to address the needs of all students including at-risk. The Resource Specialist Program addresses the needs of students identified with a disability. Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) students are identified and provided services via the GATE program. Regardless of the type of publishers materials used, there is a strong focus on linking the content standards, instruction and assessment.

 

Leadership involves all segments of the school community: teachers, parents, Board members and the site administrator. Opportunities exist for staff and parents to participate in such things as School Site Council, Staff Meetings and Individual Education Plan. The eighty percent rule is used regarding curriculum instructional decision-making. The principal, with 33 years of educational experience, facilitates such an arrangement and is relentless in exploring ways to meet the learning needs of all students.

 

Currently Hornbrook Elementary School is investigating how to best monitor and analyze student progress towards standards and reporting such progress other that STAR results.

 

The staff meets each Friday as a Professional Learning Community to improve student performance.
