School Accountability Report Card (SARC)
District/Site Requirements For ALL Schools

Every California public school is required to annually provide information in the School Accountability Report Card (SARC) about itself to the community allowing the public to evaluate and compare schools for student achievement, environment, resources and demographics.  Three additional reporting requirements in the areas of Curriculum and Instructional Materials, School Facilities, and Teachers were added as a result of the Williams Settlement Legislation.

Curriculum and Instructional Materials:

• Reading/Language Arts (including ELD)

• Foreign Language
• Health
• Visual and Performing Arts
• Science Laboratory Equipment (grades 9-12)
• Percent of pupils who lack instructional materials for each area listed above

School Facilities:

• Facility repair status as “good,” “fair,” or “poor” in 15 areas
• Site’s overall condition as “exemplary,” “good,” “fair,” or “poor”
