Days Section 3: Regular School Day Attendance Mean Change in Regular Day Attendance by After School Attendance Category The line graph in Figure 7 shows the relationship between change in regular school day attendance and attending the after school program. Changes in attendance from the baseline year are shown for each of five attendance categories. Changes represent the difference (+ or -) in the mean number of regular school days after school participants attended in when compared with the previous year. The green line indicates mean changes in regular day attendance for after school participants at Kings Canyon Joint Unified. Similar data is shown in blue for non-after school participants. +0.20 +0.00-0.20-0.40-0.60-0.80-1.00-1.20-1.40-1.17 n=1083 Mean Change in Regular School Day Attendance -0.69 n=583-0.22 n=317-0.04 n=271 +0.06 n=890-0.39 Days Attended After School Program Kings Canyon Joint Unified (n=3144) Non-After School Participants (n=4357) Figure 7 Section 4: Academic Achievement The relationship between program participation and academic achievement in English-Language Arts (ELA) and Math was analyzed using California Standards Test (CST) results from May 2010. Academic achievement was also measured using passing rates on the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) as outcomes. Method: CST Performance To determine the relationship between the CST achievement and after school program attendance, students were grouped into five categories based on the number of days they attended the after school program ( days, days, days, days, and days). The percentage of students scoring at the proficient and advanced level was calculated within and compared among each of the five categories. CST English-Language Arts (ELA) The green line in Figure 8 shows the relationship between performance on the ELA portion of the CST and attending the after school program. The blue line indicates the same information for non-after school participants. Educational Resource Consultants Kings Canyon Joint Unified -- 1/18/2011 3

Passing the CAHSEE-Math Passing the CAHSEE-ELA Method: CAHSEE Passing Rate The percentages of students passing the CAHSEE in ELA and Math were compared between after school program participants and non-participants at two grade levels (10 th and 11 th grade) Unduplicated passing rates were used, meaning that each student was counted as either passing or not passing the CAHSEE one time during regardless of the number of actual attempts. CAHSEE English-Language Arts Figure 12 compares the passing rates of after school participants on the ELA portion of the CAHSEE with the passing rates of non-participants. It should be noted that after school participants are more likely to need assistance in passing the CAHSEE. 10 8 4 2 Passing the CAHSEE-ELA 76.7% 34.2% n=0 n=14136 n=0 n=5509 10th Grade After School Participants County-Wide Average 11th Grade Figure 12 CAHSEE Math Figure 13 compares the passing rates of after school participants on the Math portion of the CAHSEE with the passing rates of non-participants.

Change in CST Performance Band Figure 12 shows the change in students CST performance band in English-Language Arts and Math between May of 2009 and May of 2010. The column on the far left shows the number of students scoring in each performance band in May 2009. The colored columns show the performance bands attained by these same students in May 2010. Numbers in the area shaded green indicate students scoring in a higher performance band than in the previous year. Numbers in the blue shaded area indicate students scoring in the same performance band as the previous year. Numbers in the pink shaded area indicates students scoring in a lower performance band than in the previous year. Also shown are the percentages of students who decreased, maintained, or increased their performance band from the previous year. Only students for whom two years of CST data were available are included in this analysis. ** Percentages in parentheses (%) indicate the change in CST Performance Band of non-after school participants at the same school. = Decreased level = Maintained same level = Improved level 2009 Performance Level English-Language Arts 2010 FBB BB B PRO ADV % Decrease % Maintain % Increase FBB (n=208) 61 89 39 13 6 N/A 29.3% (39.8%) 70.7% (60.2%) BB (n=376) 39 150 158 23 6 10.4% (14.) 39.9% (32.9%) 49.7% (53.1%) B (n=886) 39 127 465 225 30 18.7% (15.2%) 52.5% (51.6%) 28.8% (33.3%) PRO (n=690) 3 17 163 369 138 26.5% (19.1%) 53.5% (51.4%) 20.
