High Tech High North County received a letter of concern regarding academic achievement from the CDE on November 1, 2012, and was required to submit a SAP for both the high school and middle school for the 2012–13 school year for failing to meet AYP proficiency targets in English language arts, schoolwide (high school) and math, school wide and in the white subgroup (middle school).

September 2013 SBE-Authorized Charter School Self-Reporting Update on the 2012–13 Measureable Pupil Outcomes

Name of School: High Tech High Schools

● High Tech High Chula Vista

● High Tech Middle Chula Vista

● High Tech Elementary Chula Vista

● High Tech High North County

● High Tech Middle North County

Target Population (including outreach efforts made this year):

Our schools aim for a student population that mirrors the demographics of the areas surrounding the school, so we conduct outreach activities in and around the community so that families know about our school as an educational option for their children. We look for a rate of 40 percent of students who qualify for free and reduced lunch (the average in the State of California) and conduct our outreach events in areas that would specifically provide access to those families. The admissions office staff held outreach events at the school and admissions staff attended outreach events at area charter schools, independent schools, community centers, public libraries, education fairs, and other community-based organizations.

| | |transcript with 100 percent UC A-G completion |

| | |demonstrates that the HTH SBE sites are achieving this |

| | |measurable outcome. The chart below shows that HTH is |

| | |significantly exceeding the state average for UC A-G |

| | |course completion and SAT participation. Performance on |

| | |the SAT (2400) shows that HTH SBE sites are on par with |

| | |the state results with almost all students taking the SAT|

| | |2013 chose not to attend a post-secondary institution |

| | |immediately following high school graduation. Data from |

| | |the class of 2001 indicate that 87 percent of HTH |

| | |comparable schools. At the high school level, math |

| | |performance is slightly below on the STAR but comparable |

| | |to similar schools on the CAHSEE. The elementary school |

| | |site is currently below similar schools. |

| | |The below chart summarizes the data from HTH SBE sites |

| | |and those comparable schools. It is the intention of HTH |

| | |to improve math and ELA performance on the STAR; however,|

| | |HTH has started the transition to the Common Core |

| | |standards. We believe the transition to the Common Core |

| | |will benefit our sites' math performance scores, although|

| | |this will not be measurable until 2015. |
