2020–2021 School Accountability Report Card

Arma J. Shull Elementary

By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC).The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.
  • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
  • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.
  • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office.

DataQuest

DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest web page at https://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners).

California School Dashboard

The California School Dashboard (Dashboard) https://www.caschooldashboard.org/ reflects California’s new accountability and continuous improvement system and provides information about how LEAs and schools are meeting the needs of California’s diverse student population. The Dashboard contains reports that display the performance of LEAs, schools, and student groups on a set of state and local measures to assist in identifying strengths, challenges, and areas in need of improvement.

About Our School

Shull is a very high performing school that achieved California Gold Ribbon status for its performance in 2016. Shull School also earned a National Blue Ribbon Award in 2012 for excellent performance on yearly tests and closing achievement gaps between student groups.  In 2018, Shull was recognized as a California Distinguished School.

The school has the reputation of being family-centered and many parents drive from outside Shull’s boundaries to bring their children to Shull.  Nearly one half (44%) of the school population comes from outside Shull’s attendance area. Shull School has excellent, experienced teachers, a standards-based curriculum designed for success, and high parental involvement. The diverse student body is taught to be respectful of each other’s experiences and perspectives. Shull Elementary serves approximately 6.7% of Gifted and Talented students (GATE identified at the end of grade 3) in grades 4 and 5, 30% economically disadvantaged students, and about 3.7% English language learners.

Shull has a rigorous curriculum based on the California Common Core Standards. Our award-winning school provides high expectations for student achievement, regular assessments, and strong interventions. The school’s current focus includes a goal to have 90% of students at grade level in reading by the end of 3rd grade. In the 2018-2019 school year, kinder (with 91.7%), 1st grade (with 91.7%), and 2nd grade  (at 95%), achieved this goal.  3rd grade nearly met the goal (at 88%).

Shull boasts a highly qualified faculty, over 65% of staff members hold advanced graduate degrees, and all are qualified to teach English Language Learners. Beyond the exemplary school statistics, staff members take encouragement from the numerous positive comments they receive from our parent community each day:

“Shull is more than a school; it is a community of families and educators, working together to make a difference in the lives of the children in our community. The strong volunteerism at Shull makes it stand out in our district. We are never short of willing volunteers who are eager to step up and help out. The teachers are amazing and really work together as a team to nurture our children and help them to grow into fantastic human beings!”
