School Accountability Report Cards

Public schools throughout California are required to provide information about themselves to the community in the form of an annual School Accountability Report Card (SARC). These report cards provide a variety of data to allow the public to evaluate and compare schools in several important areas:

• demographic information
• school safety and climate for learning
• academic data
• class size
• teacher and staff information
• professional development
• fiscal and expenditure data

The report cards, which follow the state’s guidelines and document template, are issued each spring and focus on the previous academic year. SARCs for all district-manged and charter schools are available below. Printed copies of SARCs may be obtained from the school office.
