2020–2021 School Accountability Report Card

Fred Ekstrand 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

Ekstrand is a School-wide Title I and received California Distinguished School in 2013. There are approximately 435 students from the downtown area as well as many from outside the San Dimas boundaries. The students here come from a variety of mixed backgrounds and speak approximately 14 different languages at home, with Spanish being the dominant home language. Ekstrand provides academic interventions through the RTI process to all students not meeting grade level standards. This is provided through grade-level data meetings to identify students for intervention classes using brain-researched curriculum to assist the student in annual growth. Once students are identified they are provided additional instruction in small groups, and individual tutoring provided by well-trained instructional aides and teachers. Curriculums implemented are: Read Naturally Program, SIPPS, SPIRE,  Benchmark Advance and Benchmark Advance Intervention.

Ekstrand has continued to use Reflex Math, Imagine Learning online reading program,  a comprehensive and multi-level math software program in our computer lab, and Accelerated Reading and math. We offer clubs at school such as coding class, technology, and track.

The school has one, Makerspace and a library that also provides four internet accessible research stations. All students receive instruction in choral music on a weekly basis as well as P.E.

The Options Pre-School Program located on the northside of our campus.  We continue to benefit from the partnership which has been developed with them.
