SARC-aligned evidence 7 of 9 sections evidenced

The public-data pieces of your School Accountability Report Card, assembled and benchmarked. We surface what public data covers; your district authors the official SARC and supplies the locally-held items (the ✎ rows). This automation is built to support the people who own these filings — not replace them. It saves the assembly hours and reduces transcription errors; review, judgment, and final authorship stay with your team.

	SARC section	What we hold / what you supply
✓	Academic achievement — CAASPP (SBAC)	ELA 73% · Math 46%
✓	College & career readiness — A-G / AP	A-G 82% · 26 AP courses
✓	Graduation rate	97%
✓	Chronic absenteeism	16%
✓	Academic counseling capacity	351:1 student–counselor
✓	Teacher experience	5% in first two years
✓	Suspension & expulsion	Suspension rate 2.1%
✎	Parent involvement & school climate	District supplies: Parent-involvement opportunities + a school-climate survey (e.g. CHKS).
✎	Instructional materials & facilities	District supplies: Williams Act instructional-materials sufficiency + facilities inspection (district records).

✓ = drop-in from this report (primary public data) · ✎ = locally held, gather before you publish the official SARC. An evidence aid, not the official SARC.

LCAP evidence — California's 8 state priorities Premium · neighbor-benchmarked

Public-data evidence organized by the eight LCAP state priorities (Ed. Code §52060) — drop-in support for your LCAP and SARC narrative, assembled to make your team's filing easier and more accurate, with humans always in the loop. 6 of 8 priorities are evidenced here from primary public data; the rest rely on records only your district holds (noted below). Every metric is ranked against the 10 most similar schools — the ones families actually weigh you against — not just the statewide median. This is an evidence annex, not a filing tool.

LCAP filing checklist

Enrollment health & outcomes

From the public-data reporting above to the competitive picture below: is enrollment holding, and how do the outcomes families weigh stack up against your closest schools?

Student retention — are families staying?

Retention by student group — the equity lens

2024-25 retention by subgroup (≥20 students). The LCAP requires you to act on the widest gaps; this surfaces them.

Widest gap: Pacific Islander retain at 73.9% — 22.6 points below the school average.

Student group	Retention	vs. school avg	Students
White	97.3%	+0.8	1,193
Hispanic / Latino	97.0%	+0.5	896
Socioecon. disadvantaged	93.4%	-3.1	533
Asian	98.8%	+2.3	404
Students w/ disabilities	94.5%	-2.0	255
Two or more races	93.3%	-3.2	253
Black / African Am.	86.0%	-10.5	107
Filipino	97.6%	+1.1	82
Pacific Islander	73.9%	-22.6	23

Outcomes vs. your closest competitors

UC Reach = top-6 UC admits per 100 seniors. UC 6-yr grad = share of this school's UC enrollees who graduate within six years. Your school is highlighted.

School	UC Reach Score	UC 6-yr grad
Los Alamitos High School (you)	33	95.2%
Cypress High School	30	84.6%
Millikan High School	22	—
Westminster High School	21	91.5%
Wilson High School	—	—
Mayfair High School	10	75.0%
Lakewood High School	12	85.1%
Anaheim High School	18	95.7%
John F Kennedy High School	13	96.6%
Cerritos High School	48	93.1%
Paramount High School	12	85.1%

On UC Reach Score (top-6 UC admits per 100 seniors), Los Alamitos High School scores 33 — ahead of 8 of its 9 closest competitors. This is the outcome metric families compare most directly when choosing between nearby schools.

Competitive position — you vs. 10 similar schools

Your closest competitors by the similar-school model. Enrollment is shown as a trend (compound annual change), not a single-year headcount — a 3,000-student school and a 900-student school are only comparable on direction. On these metrics Los Alamitos High School leads its set: Retention, UC Reach Score, A–G, SBAC ELA, SBAC Math, Grad, Absent., AP.

Green = top third of this set · red = bottom third · on each metric (direction-aware: for absenteeism, lower is better). Ranks count only schools with data for that metric. Enrollment trend = compound annual change across all available years.

Programs & pathways

The distinctive programs families weigh when choosing a school — and your LCAP Priority 7 (broad course of study) evidence. Overall course rigor: Elite — exceptional AP + advanced course breadth.

5-year enrollment forecast

Where this class gains or loses students

The Class of 2026 tracked across the grades — each step is that grade's headcount in that year, so it nets transfers in and out, grade repetition, and retention. It pinpoints where a class thins out, which a single year's headcount can't.

Net change Grade 10 → 12: -4.4%. The steepest single-grade loss was into Grade 11 (-3.2%) — the transition to interview departing families about.

Source: CDE CalPADS Census Day enrollment by grade. A synthetic cohort (grade headcounts across years), not student-level tracking — it shows net movement, not individual dropout.
