School Accountability Report Card

Data from the 2015-2016 School Year Published During 2016-2017

The School Accountability Report Card (SARC) contains information about the

condition and performance of each California public school. More information about

SARC requirements is available at the California Department of Education (CDE) Web

site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. For additional information about the

school, please contact the school principal or the Sacramento County Office of

Education (SCOE).

Principal’s Message

Elinor Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School is a

community school dedicated to helping at-risk

youth reach their full potential academically,

behaviorally, and socially in a small school

setting. While the focus at Elinor Lincoln

Hickey Jr./Sr. High School is academic

success, teachers and staff understand that

before learning can take place we must

address the deeper issues that prevented

success in the past. By first building positive relationships with our students, we are

able to provide educational supports that empower our students to recover academic

credit, gain workforce readiness skills, and ultimately graduate from high school. In

addition to strong behavioral support, each student has an individualized Student

Success Plan that is created to help set realistic goals that they can accomplish while

at our school. Our students receive data driven instruction designed to accelerate

learning based on the student’s individual strengths. In addition to the SCOE school

staff our students are supported by two on-site probation officers who help meet

the wide range of student needs. Each student is encouraged to participate in

mentoring, athletics, Career Technical Education (CTE), assemblies, field trips,

career exploration/readiness, and academic tutoring. ~ Lisa Alcalá

School Description and Mission

Elinor Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School, formerly Leo A. Palmiter Community

School, was renamed in 2006 in recognition of Elinor Lincoln Hickey who was a

longtime local educator, advocate for at-risk youth and SCOE Area I Trustee. Elinor

Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School is located adjacent to the Leo A. Palmiter Jr./Sr.

High School campus and serves students in grades 7-12, who are referred by school

districts, the Probation Department, or the School Attendance Review Board (SARB).

Our curriculum is aligned to academic and performance standards adopted by the

California State Board of Education, and is infused with CTE to provide relevant

learning experiences for each student. Our mission is to address the needs of

students who have not been successful in traditional school settings. We treat each

student with dignity and respect and create an environment where students thrive.

Students typically attend the program for two semesters before returning to their

home district or completing their education with a high school diploma or by

passing a California high school equivalency exam.

Parental/Guardian Involvement

Research shows that strong parental/guardian involvement leads to student success

at school. Parent(s)/guardian(s) interested in partnering with the school are

encouraged to contact Elinor Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High School for additional

information regarding becoming a member of the School Site Council or

participating in other school and district advisory meetings. For more information

on parental/guardian involvement, contact Principal Lisa Alcalá at 916-228-2074.

“An unknown author said,

‘Education is not the

lighting of a fire.’ I believe

that the staff at Elinor

Lincoln Hickey Jr./Sr. High

School has embraced this

philosophy. They strive to

meet the individual needs

of each student and help

both the student and the

student’s family embrace

school and see a positive

SCOE’s Local

Accountability System

In addition to the state

accountability provided

through the Public Schools

Accountability Act (PSAA)

and the federal

accountability authorized

by the ESEA, SCOE has

implemented local

accountability measures

that are uniquely adapted

for alternative school

settings serving high-risk

student populations.

SCOE’s local accountability

measures include

indicators of learning

readiness, academic

achievement, and

educational transition.

The learning readiness

indicator is measured

through the use of

attendance data.

The 2015-2016 academic

achievement indicators

were measured with the

Renaissance Learning tests

in reading and

mathematics and through

credits earned.

The educational transition

indictor is measured

through successful

transitions either through

high school graduation,

completion of a high

school equivalency test, or

a return to another high

school.


Federal Intervention Program (School Year 2016-2017)

Schools and LEAs receiving federal Title I funding enter Program Improvement

(PI) if they do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same content area

(English-language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator (graduation

rate). After entering PI, schools and LEAs advance to the next level of

intervention with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Information

about PI including revisions to the PI status determinations can be found at the

CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ti/programimprov.asp.
