II. School Safety and Climate for Learning


School Safety Plan



Date of Last Review/Update

October, 2005<

Date Last Discussed with Staff

February, 2005

Due to the size of the school, the school faculty, staff, parents and school board formed a committee to discuss updating school safety plan.  The committee met twice during the school year and will continue to meet until it is complete.  The plan is being fully designed and implemented during the 2007-2008 school year.


School Programs and Practices that Promote a Positive Learning Environment


Blake School participates in Tobacco Use Prevention Education, Drug-Free Red Ribbon Week, and Grades K-6 Truancy Reduction Program


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 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.

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) shows 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 and percent of students not tested 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 standards).
