River Oaks Academy Charter School Introduction:River Oaks
Academy Charter School is a non-classroom based program, focused on
personalized learning for students from transitional kindergarten
through 12th grades. We have about 260 students enrolled throughout
the grade levels. We just opened a 2nd resource center in the West
County, in Oxnard, to better serve students in that area. We
currently serve 54 students at the Oxnard facility. Two years ago,
we received a 6 year clear WASC accreditation and our new facility
is also accredited.River Oaks Academy is founded on the belief that
all children are born with the capacity for brilliance. Our mission
is to help children find, nurture and sustain the passion that will
lead to their individual forms of brilliance. To this end, we offer
a non-traditional TK-12 independent study, personalized learning
program of individually designed curriculum and direction.The
structure of our school is quite different from what many have
experienced in education. Our students are all taught in their own
communities, primarily in their homes by their parents. Parents in
our school are afforded the privilege and responsibility of
facilitating their own child`s education. As a school, we provide
the support, guidance, accountability, documentation, materials,
resources and assessments. We provide a credentialed teacher, who
develops not only a close relationship with the student and the
parent, but also reviews the learning and creates the assignment
for the upcoming learning periods. The relationship is cultivated
over time and is one of utmost professionalism and respect.The
teacher is the pivotal point of contact between the school and the
student. The parent provides the day-to-day instruction. The
teacher meets at least once every twenty school days with the
student and the parent. The teacher also completes documentation
and paperwork for each student for the school.Our students
participate in a variety of workshops, both at our resource centers
and in the community. The school provides for workshops, classes,
tutoring, study halls and social events. Students also participate
in all state-mandated assessments, which included the CAASPP and
the Physical Fitness test for students in grades 5, 7, and 9. Our
3-8th grade students take our i-Ready assessment twice/year, so we
can monitor progress both, in the fall and in the spring. The high
school students, partake in the ACT Aspire administration in the
fall and the spring; we also administer the PSAT and our school is
an official testing center for the College Board. Due to that we
offer the SAT exams twice/year at our site as well. Since our
enrollment in the individual grade level is below 30, the new
state's accountability system, the "Dashboard" shows numerous
"N/As" for our school. However, we are proud to emphasize that we
saw a remarkable progress with our LCAP Goal # 3 (math
improvements). We continued our extensive support in math by
providing students (based on their last year's CAASPP results) with
weekly math tutors; we offered a daily math lab, focus room (study
hall) and a variety of other math support workshops. With that, our
math level increased by over 26 points. We will continue to include
this goal in our LCAP and provide these services to further improve
our students' math skills.Our ELA indicator also shows that we
"increased significantly"--27 points. We are currently 15.2 points
above level 3. In ELA as well, we will continue to provide the
academic support by offering individual tutoring, academic writing
workshops, SAT prep workshops and more to continue and maintain the
growth.Our graduation rate shows as "Status" and "Change" columns
are marked with an N/A. This is again due to the low cohort numbers
in each grade and to protect student privacy. However, we are happy
to report that over the last several years, we have had a 100%
4-year cohort graduation rate.Our Chronic Absenteeism rate also
shows an N/A. As an Independent Study program, absenteeism is not a
prevalent issue.Our Goal #4 emphasizes access to a-g courses and CC
courses as well as career pathways offerings. To continue to
prepare our students for College and Career, we not only have
continued to build our Career Pathway program, which gives our
students extensive choices to venture and explore a variety of
careers, but we also have changed our graduation requirements to
include our College and Career Seminar, which is an a-g articulated
course. Furthermore, we now offer WEE (Work Experience); 3 pathways
that are not only a-g, but that we hope to articulate with the
local colleges (Hospitality, Legal and Networking); business
partners from a variety of industry sectors who are supporting our
pathways and are offering internships and job shadowing to our
students. Our high school guidance counselor works and meets with
students at least twice/year to make sure that they not only are on
track, but also are informed. We have 39 a-g courses, from which
our students can choose and continue to add to that list every
year. We also offer SAT prep courses in math and ELA.
