Newport Harbor High School School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2012-13 School Year Published During 2013-14 Every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC), by February 1 of each year. The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC webpage at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. For additional information about the school, parents and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. I. Data and Access DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest Web page at http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district, the county, and the state. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., state Academic Performance Index [API], federal Adequate Yearly Progress [AYP]), test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners. Internet Access Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents. Additional Information For further information regarding the data elements and terms used in the SARC see the 2012 13 Academic Performance Index Reports Information Guide located on the CDE API Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/.

Newport Harbor High School Mission Newport Harbor High School will provide the opportunity for all students to become productive, successful members of society by challenging each to excel in academics, explore personal interests and develop his or her potential. Vision Statement The primary goal of Newport Harbor High School is to involve faculty, students, parents, and the community in a continuing effort to develop skills and attitudes needed to act responsibly in a constantly changing world. Such skills and attitudes shall include but not be limited to: enabling students to develop critical thinking skills, foster a lifelong interest in learning, and developing the ideals of integrity, honesty, and social consciousness. The school community will encourage and assist each student to develop to his/her greatest emotional, social, physical, and intellectual capabilities. The Newport Harbor High School faculty and staff encourage each student to become a positive, contributing member of his/her family, school, community and country. School and Community Established in 1930, Newport Harbor High School (NHHS) is the largest of the four public high schools located within the Newport- Mesa Unified School District that serves a total of 21,884 students from the suburban communities of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa (combined total population of 170,000). The campus is located 45 miles south of Los Angeles and 100 miles north of San Diego. The student body at NHHS is quite diverse. Of the 2367 students enrolled, nearly 30% represent different ethnic minorities (66% Caucasian, 30% Latino, 1.2% African American, 2% Asian). Parents established a private non-profit educational foundation in 1995 to promote academic excellence and enhance academic opportunities for all NHHS students through additional financial support. School Characteristics Newport Harbor is a four-year high school, serving grades 9-12. Students take semester and year-long classes. Accreditation and Recent Distinctions *California Distinguished School, 1999 and 2005 *National Blue Ribbon School, 2000 *Six Year Accreditation through June, 2012 *International Baccalaureate School, 2010 Programs and Pathways NHHS realizes that one size does not fit all in high school. With that in mind we offer a variety of programs and pathways for our students to enhance their education. Honors Courses: These courses are taught at a faster pace and go into greater depth than regular academic courses. Newport Harbor offers a variety of honors courses to our freshmen and sophomores: Honors Comp. Lit, Honors Biology, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Geometry, Honors Pre-Calculus. AP-Advanced Placement Courses: These are rigorous college level courses that culminate in a required AP Exam administered by the College Board. AP classes begin at the 10th grade and depending on their exam score and college policies, students may earn advanced placement and/or college credit for successful completion of these courses. AP courses include: Art History, Art Portfolio, Biology, Calculus, AB, BC, Chemistry, Computer Science, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, Government and Politics: US, Physics, Psychology, Spanish Language, World History and US History. 2012-13 School Accountability Report Card for Newport Harbor High School Page 2 of 25

International Baccalaureate Program: This college level, fully integrated course of study requires examinations in the five basic academic areas, with a sixth examination selected from one of several options. This program begins at the 11th grade and continues through the 12th grade. The International Baccalaureate organization (IBO) was started by a group of dedicated teachers, including many Americans, at an international school in Geneva in 1968. Since international schools are not tied to a particular country or state, they wanted to develop standards and a curriculum that would meet university requirements around the world. They also wanted a curriculum which centered on critical thinking, open-mindedness and big picture thinking. Students earning the IB Diploma receive advanced college credit at prestigious universities around the world. Many highly competitive colleges and universities recognize the IB Diploma for admissions and/or advanced standing. University of California schools award a full year s college credit to a diploma student who scores 30 out of 45 on the IB assessments. IB is a two-year program in the junior and senior years. Students take courses in six academic areas. Group 1: Studies in Language and Literature Group 2: Language Acquisition Group 3: Individuals and Societies Group 4: Experimental Sciences Group 5: Mathematics Group 6: Arts & Electives The courses are classified as Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL). Higher Level courses require two years of study in advanced courses and Standard Level courses require one or two years of study in advanced courses. At least three and not more than four of the six subjects are taken at the Higher Level (HL). The balance of courses are taken at the Standard Level (SL). This allows students to explore some subjects in depth and some more broadly. Students will complete three additional requirements known as the core of the IB program. One requirement is a unique course known as Theory of Knowledge in which they will explore how we acquire knowledge and the connections between various disciplines. The second requirement is that over the two year period they will participate in and reflect upon activities of their own choice involving creativity, action and service (CAS). Finally, they will write an extended essay (research paper of 4,000 words) during the 11th and 12th grade years. IB courses are also open to students who do not choose to take the full two year IB Diploma program, but are interested in taking some of the IB classes offered. These students must complete all class requirements and pass the IB exam in order to achieve the recognition of universities for participating in an IB course. Achievement of the International Baccalaureate Diploma is assessed using international standards. Each examined subject is graded on a scale of 1 to 7 with 7 being the highest score possible. Additional points may be earned for completing the required Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge essay. The award of the Diploma requires a minimum total of 24 points. IB test scores have no effect on the final grade in the class, only on the awarding of the diploma. AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) A special program designed to prepare students, who have not sought out the opportunity, to succeed in a college preparatory path, for admission to four-year universities and colleges. The objectives of the program are to provide students with college level entry skills and improve their coping skills towards academic success. Da Vinci Program This program is a rigorous 9th grade science-themed program in which students complete integrated projects which examine the connections between science, history, art, math, and English. Rembrandt Program This Fine Arts themed 9th grade program focuses on central themes in the Visual Arts. While studying the basics of art, students are also encouraged to examine the broader connections between the various disciplines. Culinary Pathway A continuum of courses over 4 years designed to prepare students for employment and advancement in the hospitality and tourism industry. Students learn the basics of food preparation and art design principles of presentation. Digital Media Arts Pathway A continuum of courses over 4 years designed to prepare students for employment and advancement in the digital and photographic fields. Students learn design and composition, technical controls on the camera, extensive Photoshop and Illustrator understanding and have real-world projects to put theory into practice. 2012-13 School Accountability Report Card for Newport Harbor High School Page 3 of 25

Business Pathway A continuum of courses over 4 years designed to prepare students for employment and advancement in the business industry. Students learn the basics of entrepreneurship, the foundations of business, personal finance, accounting and communication technology.

Group 1: Studies in Language and Literature Group 2: Language Acquisition Group 3: Individuals and Societies Group 4: Experimental Sciences Group 5: Mathematics Group 6: Arts & Electives The courses are classified as Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL). Higher Level courses require two years of study in advanced courses and Standard Level courses require one or two years of study in advanced courses. At least three and not more than four of the six subjects are taken at the Higher Level (HL). The balance of courses are taken at the Standard Level (SL). This allows students to explore some subjects in depth and some more broadly. Students will complete three additional requirements known as the core of the IB program. One requirement is a unique course known as Theory of Knowledge in which they will explore how we acquire knowledge and the connections between various disciplines. The second requirement is that over the two year period they will participate in and reflect upon activities of their own choice involving creativity, action and service (CAS). Finally, they will write an extended essay (research paper of 4,000 words) during the 11th and 12th grade years. IB courses are also open to students who do not choose to take the full two year IB Diploma program, but are interested in taking some of the IB classes offered. These students must complete all class requirements and pass the IB exam in order to achieve the recognition of universities for participating in an IB course. Achievement of the International Baccalaureate Diploma is assessed using international standards. Each examined subject is graded on a scale of 1 to 7 with 7 being the highest score possible. Additional points may be earned for completing the required Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge essay. The award of the Diploma requires a minimum total of 24 points. IB test scores have no effect on the final grade in the class, only on the awarding of the diploma. AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) A special program designed to prepare students, who have not sought out the opportunity, to succeed in a college preparatory path, for admission to four-year universities and colleges. The objectives of the program are to provide students with college level entry skills and improve their coping skills towards academic success. Da Vinci Program This program is a rigorous 9th grade science-themed program in which students complete integrated projects which examine the connections between science, history, art, math, and English. Rembrandt Program This Fine Arts themed 9th grade program focuses on central themes in the Visual Arts.

Opportunities for Parental Involvement (School Year 2012-13) This section provides information on how parents can become involved in school activities, including contact information pertaining to organized opportunities for parent involvement. Newport Harbor's parent community is directly connected in supporting the school and is involved in a variety of ways. Parents volunteer through many organizations. PTA meetings are held monthly. The Navigators host monthly meetings and organize two Harbor Pride Days where parents and students work together on various campus beautification projects. The Newport Harbor Educational Foundation serves the school by hosting a variety of fundraising activities, i.e. DNA Night for parents, Grandparents Day, and the Annual Benefit Auction. All parent groups help to raise funds to enhance academic and extra-curricular activities through several fundraisers and "friend-raisers", generating significant funding for academic and athletic programs. Newport Harbor also has a rich ELAC (English Language Advisory Committee) that meets five times a year. Responsibilities The ELAC shall be responsible for advising the principal and staff on programs and services for English learners and the School Site Council on the development of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

Composition Requirements Requirements for ELAC elections include: Parents of English learners at Newport Harbor High School comprise at least the same percentage of the ELAC membership as English learners constitute of the school s total student population. For example, if 25 percent of the students in a school are English learners, then parents/guardians of English learners must comprise 25 percent of the ELAC membership. Other members of the ELAC can be parents/guardians, school staff, and /or community members as long as the minimum percentage requirement for EL parents is maintained. Elections Parents or guardians of Newport Harbor High School English learners must have an opportunity to elect the parent members to serve on the ELAC or subcommittee.

III. Student Performance The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of several key components, including: California Standards Tests (CSTs), which include English-language arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and nine through eleven. California Modified Assessment (CMA), an alternate assessment that is based on modified achievement standards in ELA for grades three through eleven; mathematics for grades three through seven, Algebra I, and Geometry; and science in grades five and eight, and Life Science in grade ten. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the California content standards with or without accommodations. California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), includes ELA and mathematics in grades two through eleven, and science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The assessments under the STAR Program show how well students are doing in relation to the state content standards. On each of these assessments, student scores are reported as performance levels. For detailed information regarding the STAR Program results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, see the CDE STAR Results Web site at http://star.cde.ca.gov.

IV. Accountability Academic Performance Index The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of state academic performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. For detailed information about the API, see the CDE API Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ap/. 2012-13 School Accountability Report Card for Newport Harbor High School Page 13 of 25

Academic Performance Index Ranks - Three-Year Comparison This table displays the school s statewide and similar schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched similar schools. A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that the school s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.
