General Trends

  • On MAP, from spring 2025 to spring 2026, ELA achievement at LCPS increased from the 33rd to 40th percentile, with nearly half of students achieving above average growth (46%).

  • ELPI / CA Dashboard: students improving increased from 45.2% in 2025 to 48.8% in 2026
  • Overall, LCPS saw average growth in MAP Math and TK early literacy, but above average growth is needed to close national gaps
    • TK Literacy: 31%ile > 36%ile
    • MAP Math: 30th%ile > 32%ile achievement

  • DIBELS: K–2 benchmark rates of students on grade level moved up (31.7% to 41.4%), but the growth profile suggests the overall pace of improvement still needs to accelerate for many students.
    • 47.5% are average-or-above growth
    • 52.5% are below-average-or-worse growth
  • MAP % of students who met growth goals from fall to spring:

Key takeaway: Lighthouse started and stayed higher on the Early Literacy composite. Lodestar started lower but made larger gains. At both schools, raw-score growth was strong, but national percentile did not always keep pace, meaning students continuously improved, but not at a rate to outpace the national norm.

Reminders: AimswebPlus percentiles work as a bell curve, anything 25th%ile and above is considered average. Composite scores for Early Literacy consist of Auditory Vocabulary, Initial Sounds, Letter Naming Fluency, Letter Word Sounds Fluency, and Print Concepts.

A-G Completion

For the 2025-26 school year, we are looking at an A-G completion rate of around 96% at Lighthouse and 93% at Lodestar.

This is a little better than last year at Lighthouse and a little worse than last year at Lodestar. The difference is 1-2 students at each site.

47 of 214

Dual Enrollment

At Lighthouse, more than 73% of seniors in the Class of 2026 will graduate with college credit. One student, Barbara Avalos Escobar, has earned 48 units of college credit as a high school student. That’s almost 2 years of college. Barbara is headed to UC Berkeley next fall.

At Lodestar, 52% of seniors in the Class of 2026 will graduate with college credit.

Dual Enrollment Classes Offered in 2026-27

  • Interpersonal Communication
  • Lifespan Development
  • Marketing
  • Mass Media
  • Personal Health

Career Preparation

Our new Health Science Pathway has been a great addition at our high schools. To support the development of this Pathway, we recently hired a new Health Science Pathway Lead Teacher at Lodestar and secured a Golden State Pathway Program Implementation Grant from the CDE that will provide additional funding for the next three years.

In 2026-27, we’re excited to add a pre-apprenticeship program in Carpentry to our Product Design Pathway. We are receiving curriculum and training for this program through a grant from the Home Builders Institute of America.

A Few Highlights!

10 students have been admitted to the Carpentry Pre-apprenticeship program at Laney this summer which is a jumping off point for the Skilled Trades.

6 LCPS students (all female) will be headed to UC Berkeley, including our first ever Cal Bear from Lodestar, Eideliz “Lizzie” Pablo. 2 of these students received Fiat Lux scholarships which will cover all of their tuition for 4 years.

Lighthouse senior Santos Pablo earned a full ride through Questbridge to attend Northwestern University.

We have our first-ever matriculees to Earlham College in Indiana and Saint Olaf College in Minnesota.

Academic Strategic Priority Update

  • Crew Launch & Culture Building (1A): In AP Crew Leaders focused on planning both the culture and rigor to ensure strong testing environments for our Game On Plan. Additionally ELPAC testing begun and school shave been supporting teachers and students with the importance of this assessment in crew and with families this past SLC’s.
  • Data-Driven Practice (1B): Staff have begun to lead PD debriefing our ICA data and create action plans to ensure we have student level actionable support plans.
  • Coaching & Observation Systems (3A/3C): Coaches are focused on In the moment coaching and co planning as we get closer to SBAC testing. Observation cycles have transitioned to weekly or on case by case need daily feedback post in the moment coaching, modeling or co-teaching
  • Professional Development (3B/3D) & Lesson Plan Internalization & Feedback (1C/1D): EL Mid year reviews have begun this month and show stronger alignment across sites. Sites continue to leverage their looking at student work protocols to ensure deeper analysis and improvement week to week.

55 of 214

What are IABs/ICAs?

  • Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs)
    • Provide a high-level overview of student performance
    • Is the same length and difficulty as the full length end-of-year SBAC
    • Good for a mid-year progress check
    • Only for ELA/Math in tested grades
  • Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs)
    • Assessments meant for throughout the school year in smaller bundles of content
    • To check student performance more frequently
    • Can be used to progress monitor science or 9th/10th grades

Both assessments draw from the same bank of interim items and performance tasks. Test questions are developed using the same rigorous methods as those items found on the summative assessment.

IABs/FIABs: Once, Beginning-of-Year for tested grades, twice a year for 9th/10th

ICAs: Once, Mid-year

ICAs Executive Summary

Strengths

Challenges

General Trends

  • High school math shows notable gains at both campuses (between 97-183 points from 24-25 CAASPP)

  • At the LEA level, all LEAs are making progress for their average scale score growth in both math/ELA
    • If this rate were to continue, we would be green on the CA Dashboard by 2028 in ELA/Math across sites
  • Math proficiency low across elementary grades

  • LCPS will need to strengthen coaching in grades that need support to reach our goals of 80% of students making 50+ points from CAASPP>CAASPP
  • ELA shows more variability with targeted successes but also pockets of concern

  • ICAs are considered highly predictable for CAASPP from previous years (~56%-72% predictability)
    • Though high predictability is good, we always hope for continued improvements between ICAs and the end of the year.

How Are Teachers Looking at the Data? (Student Level)

Example taken from internal dashboard - teachers can see students separated by:

  • Who is on grade level
  • Who is near grade level
  • Who is growing, but not on grade level
  • Who is not growing and not on grade level
  • Student subgroups (EL/SPED/etc)
  • Distance from Standard

61 of 214

How Are Teachers Looking at the Data? (Standard Level)

Teachers have access to explore the backend system connected to tests - which allows them to see standards students mastered or missed, as well as looking for trends in student responses

ELPI Background

77 of 214

English Learner Progress Indicator: How is it Measured?

The English Learner Progress Indicator (ELPI) measures English Learner students’ progress towards English language proficiency. This is done by comparing students’ results from the prior year to the current year.

78 of 214

English Learner Progress Indicator: How is it Measured?

For EL students taking the Summative ELPAC, progress is advancing at least one ELPI level.

For students taking the Summative Alternate ELPAC, progress is advancing at least one level on the Sum. Alt. ELPAC or a scale score change of at least plus ten.

79 of 214

English Learner Progress Indicator: Common Definitions

Only English Learners (ELs) are measured on the ELPI.

The dashboard has two subgroups for ELPI, including ELs and Long-Term English Language Learners (LTELs).

LTELs are students who have not attained proficiency within seven years of initial EL classification.

In reporting, every LTEL is counted as an EL, but not every EL is an LTEL.

LTELs remain a subgroup that LCPS will continue to monitor closely, especially at LHK-8 where LCPS has been selected for Differentiated Assistance for failing to meet performance targets.

Differentiated Assistance is triggered when the same student group shows low performance for two consecutive years or the subgroup shows red in two areas.

English Language Learners

LTELs

Reclassification

Students may test out of ELPAC to no longer be considered an EL student. This is called reclassification.

A student’s language fluency then changes from EL to Reclassified Fluent English Proficient (RFEP).

  • English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPAC)
    • A score of 4 on the Summative ELPAC
    • A score of 3 for those who take the Alternate Summative ELPAC
  • Basic Skills Relative to English Proficient Students
    • A student must show they are performing similar academically to non-EL students
    • LCPS uses the standardized assessments of MAP and CAASPP for this evaluation
    • For students who take the Alt. Sum. ELPAC, the IEP team uses alternate assessments and student-specific guidelines to evaluate relative skills
  • Teacher Evaluation
    • At LCPS, we use a CDE standardized document called the OPTEL where teachers evaluate academic language and skills of students eligible
    • Teachers can recommend or deny student reclassification
  • Parent Consultation
    • At LCPS, families review the recommendation and test results from the OPTEL form then sign in agreeance or disagreeance with the reclassification

ELPAC By Domain

This heatmap shows net movement rates for each grade-domain combination. Darker green represents stronger growth, while darker red indicates more significant regression.

Writing: Domain is relatively “flat” compared to others, with less growth and regression. 1st grade seems to be an exception, which experiences a testing increase in difficulty since Kindergarten tests are weighted more orally.

Reading: Strongest domain in high school, however is a struggle in elementary school, especially in grades where the test shifts in difficulty (grades 3 & 6).

Speaking: Explosive growth in 2nd, generally stable in other grades.

Listening: Most challenging domain network-wide. In test transition grades (3, 6, & 9) we see the most regression.

Test difficulty increases in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 11th grades

DIBELS mCLASS is a K–6 reading assessment that measures foundational literacy skills like phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension. It's used to identify students at risk and guide instruction.

LCPS previously used AimswebPlus (and continues to do so for TK in SY 25-26) to measure foundational literacy.

We changed this year because Senate Bill 114 (2023) released a list of four approved reading screeners - AimswebPlus was not on that list, the best option of the four based on ability to compare to other charter, OUSD and range of assessment abilities was: mClass DIBELs

5 out of 6 school bands have higher ADA in SY 25-26 than SY 24-25. Lighthouse Lower is what is accounting for the .5-1% difference. This aligns with the trends we are seeing at Lighthouse with their rate of chronically absent students.

Budgeted ADA

119 of 214

Currently 26.33% of students have been absent 9.5% of the school year as of Jan 2026.

To be chronically absent means you have missed 10% of the school year or more.

Middle School at both sites is leading the way breaking national norms with lower rates of absenteeism than elementary.

Grades 4, 6 and 7 are maintaining lower rates of absence. While grades Kinder, 1st, 3rd and 8th have higher rates of chronic absenteeism than last year.

122 of 214

We are observing higher student absences during months that include holidays and vacation periods, with rates exceeding those from the same period last year.

In response, we will strengthen proactive communication with families before and after scheduled breaks to reinforce attendance expectations and mitigate this trend moving forward.

ADA by Day of the Week

We have seen 1% improvement ADA on Mondays compared to SY 24-25. Mystery Monday is an initiative we launched to impact ADA on Mondays as a proactive absentee measure.

125 of 214

We are beginning to see consistent attendance strategies are driving early improvements and reducing the number of students below 90% ADA in Cycle 3.

We will be continuing this proactive work with ONGB as part of our tiered attendance approach.

  • Proactive strategies that are parent facing such as ONGB Every Day Counts Initiative
  • Sharing the Shine (94% Club, EDC, Mystery Monday)
  • PACT Referrals

  • Providing 5-10 attendance recovery days via spring break, summer school and after school
  • Targeted recruitment for Spring and Summer Breaks to recover ADA
  • Adjusting the SART process to connect with At-Risk Families more frequently
  • MTSS Attendance Coordinator and DSS supporting conducting SART meetings
  • Making the attendance data relatable (moving away from ADA %)

SBAC Interim Assessments Background

LCPS has just tested in a combination of IABs/FIABs depending on grade and curriculum.

These are graded differently than the full test on a scale of Above Standard, Near Standard, or Below Standard. However, they do give us an SBAC Scale Score.

IABs are meant to help us practice with the real test platform, see a snapshot of how students are performing, and determine supports.

ICAs are a full-length practice test.

These are graded on the same scale as the SBAC/CAASPP test in four parts: Below Standard, Near Standard, Met Standard, Exceeded Standard.

Academic Highlights from Cycle 1

Areas of Strength

Areas of Focus

  • Crew Launch & Culture Building (1A): Clear expectations and model lessons established strong routines; most Crew classrooms show evidence of belonging and safe student experiences. Staff understanding of the “why/how” of Crew is increasing, supported by survey feedback and real-time coaching.
  • Data-Driven Practice (1B): ILT/CLT teams began aligning PDs to TDEF elements, ensuring that data analysis translated into concrete instructional skill-building sessions. Early collaboration across teams has led to more consistent focus on instructional priorities.
  • Coaching & Observation Systems (3A/3C): Most teachers are receiving biweekly 1:1s or clinic support with targeted action steps. Leaders are internalizing TDEF and leveraging walkthroughs/Teachboost to capture evidence and drive growth-oriented conversations.

  • Lesson Plan Internalization & Feedback (1C/1D): Submission rates remain inconsistent across sites (30–58%), and feedback trends lack coherence. Leaders note a need for stronger scope/sequence alignment and consistent accountability systems.

  • Professional Development & Operations (3B/3D): While PD sessions are valued, staff report a desire for more planning/coaching time, smoother structures, and stronger connections between PD, coaching, and classroom practice. Operational issues (tech, logistics) also disrupt efficiency.

Summary of Leadership Retreat

(AI) Here's a synthesized summary of the survey themes, highlighting three positive aspects and three areas for growth:

Three Positive Aspects:

  1. Strong Community Building & Networking: The retreat excelled at fostering connections among leaders and teams through various informal and structured opportunities, which was highly valued by attendees.
  2. Valuable External Perspectives & Practical Tools: Guest speakers from other organizations provided inspiring insights, and sessions that offered practical tools and resources (like EduClimber and coaching conversation preparation) were very well-received.
  3. Effective Strategic Alignment & Data Focus: The retreat successfully connected leaders to the mission and vision of community schools, encouraging reflection on data, impact, and strategic planning, leading to a strong sense of purpose and direction.

Three Areas for Growth:

  1. Increased Dedicated Team Work Time: There was a consistent desire for more embedded team time during the retreat for planning, reflection, and collaborative problem-solving, moving beyond a "sit and get" format.
  2. Improved Venue Acoustics & Technical Support: Issues with the venue's acoustics and the lack of microphones hindered audibility for some attendees, suggesting a need for better sound management in future events.
  3. Enhanced Data Interpretation & Session Flow: While data was appreciated, attendees sought more in-depth guidance on data interpretation and application. Additionally, some felt the overall session flow could be more cohesive and purposeful.

Example: LH SY24-25 Third Grade cohort is 75 scale points from G4 Proficient Scale Score

Implementation Goal:

80% of students demonstrate scale score improvement (50 points+) on interims for ELA and Math (1B, 1C, 1D)

Based on this data what would our scale score improvement need to be to move towards proficiency?

Student Assessment Data: AimswebPlus

54% of 2nd Grade above the 25th percentile with Lighthouse exceeding the 6% growth goal carrying Lodestar which had an annual decrease in proficiency. 46% of all tested K-2 students above the 25th percentile meeting our SY-25-26 goal

Impact Measure: 85% of 2nd grade students are in the 26th percentile or higher on the Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) portion of AimsWeb (equivalent to 6% growth annually off of 2024 baseline)

Areas of Strength

  • Lighthouse Ufli pilot
  • Aligning Tier 1-3 curriculum

Areas for Growth

  • Lodestar Early Literacy Coaching
  • Tier 1 Core Phonics Instruction (Whole Group & Differentiated)
  • Kindergarten lowest data across the org

209 of 214

Student Assessment Data: AimswebPlus

During July and Summer Planning Principals will have a chance to review the data and use the data to inform coaching and answer consider questions like

  • Which student groups (SPED, EL, RFEP, by gender) grew the most? Or the least?
  • How can we improve instruction for those student groups?
  • What teachers will need intensive data monitoring and support throughout the first Semester?
  • How will we communicate data measures of success daily, monthly, and quarterly to teachers?

Lodestar combo class was an area of growth will be moving to self contained; Rising K will have 18 who will need remediation.

In July and August we will be updating the EL Master plan This will increase reclassification opportunities for students who have scored a 4 on the ELPAC.

Why: The EL Master plan was last updated in 2021-2022 therefore is has outdated information, and as our EL population increased and FPM regulations changed there are new sections needed to be added to the Plan such as:

  • NWEA scores as a reclassification criteria
  • Designated ELD curriculum and schedules
  • Newcomer Plan
  • Academic Progress Monitoring for RFEP, At risk LTEL’s and Long Term LTEL’s

This updated plan will be shared for Board Approval in August.
