School Accountability Report Card
In accordance with state and federal requirements, the School
Accountability Report Card (SARC) is put forth annually by all public schools as a tool
for parents and interested parties to stay informed of the school’s
progress, test scores and achievements.
Principal’s Message“College and Career Begins at Kelso!” The foundations of instruction at Kelso are based upon a rigorous cur-riculum, high expectations for student achievement and evidence-based instructional practices. The culture of Kelso fosters a professional learning community in which highly qualified teachers engage in ongoing professional development and work collaboratively to analyze student data to develop student-centered, standards-based learning activities that promote critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity.
In 2014-15, Kelso’s School Site Council, Instructional Leader Team (ILT) and the Student Council voted to adopt Kelso PRIDE (Positive attitude, respect, integrity, diligence, excellence) as the school’s Core Values. These Core Values are the foundation for Kelso’s Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) initiative for 2015-16 and set forth schoolwide expectations for conduct at Kelso that will enhance a climate of excellence in teaching and learning.
Kelso’s high expectations for instruction and student achievement have historically yielded consistently posi-tive results. Kelso was the first school in IUSD to earn an API score above 800, and Kelso received recogni-tion as a California Distinguished School in 2006 and 2012. Educators from urban schools across the country, along with textbook publishers and educational researchers, have visited Kelso and used the school as a model for best practices in urban education. A key to Kelso’s success is a shared vision by Kelso’s passionate staff, students and their families that promotes high standards for academic and personal growth that is care-fully monitored and analyzed to ensure the success of each student. College truly begins at Kelso!
District Mission StatementThe mission of the Inglewood Unified School District is to ensure that all our students are taught rigorous standards based curriculum supported by highly
qualified staff in an exemplary educational system characterized by high student
achievement, social development, safe schools, and effective partnerships with all
segments of the community.
District Vision StatementThe vision of the Inglewood Unified
School District is to provide a learning environment that empowers all students to acquire the academic and social skills
needed to become productive citizens and lifelong learners in a global economy.
Parental InvolvementKelso staff members recognize the importance of partnering with parents to educate a child and encourage parent involvement at school. Kelso convenes an annual meeting to inform parents of Title I students about Title I requirements and about the rights of parents to be involved in the Title I program. The conference is held every fall prior to Back-to-School Night in which presentations are made by the staff informing parents of their rights, school procedures and policies, how to assist their children, attendance policy, Williams case settlement policy, testing, and parent involvement committees which include School Site Council (SSC) and English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC).
The school provides parents of Title I students with timely information about Title I programs. Kelso commu-nicates with families through backpack flyers, recorded phone messages, email blasts, regular posts to the Kelso website and on the marquee in front of the school. All notices, newsletters, agendas, and telephone messages are in English and Spanish.
The school offers a flexible number of meetings for Title I parents in the morning and in the afternoon. Informal morning Coffee With the Principal meetings give parents the opportunity to give feedback and have open dialogue with the principal. More formal ELAC, SSC and School Advisory Council (SAC) meetings include elected parents, teachers, staff and community members. The school involves parents of Title I students in an organized, ongoing and timely way in the planning, review and improvement of the school’s Title I programs and the Title I parental involvement policy. Parents are encouraged to attend various parent meetings. At these meetings they collaborate in discussing, analyzing and updating school programs and policies. Their input is highly regarded as plans are put in place. We involve parents in an organized, ongoing and timely way to plan, review and improve programs such as the parental involvement policy, home-school compact and the school plan. Program revisions and improvements are made based on the needs assessment survey, budget, agendas, standardized testing results, minutes and sign in sheets from conferences and meetings. The school provides parents of Title I students with an explanation of the curriculum used at the school, their child’s grade-level standards, the assessments used to measure student progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet. Standardized test and California English Language Development Test (CELDT) scores are sent home within two weeks of receipt by the school.
At Back-to-School Night, grade-level standards are distributed to all parents, and teachers explain the grade-level standards and curriculum. All students are expected to work toward mastery of the grade-level stan-dards. Kelso Elementary School also distributes a school-parent compact on Back-to-School Night or on Parent Conference Day. The compact, which has been jointly developed with parents using both annual needs assessment surveys and discussions at meetings, outlines how parents, the entire school staff and students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement. The home-school compact is reviewed and signed during Back-to-School Night or parent conference day and is included in the enroll-ment packet for new students who enter throughout the year. It is the main focus of our Parental Involvement Policy. It describes specific ways the school and families will partner to help children achieve the state’s high academic standards. It addresses the following legally required items, as well as other items suggested by parents of Title I students:
• The school’s responsibility to provide high-quality curriculum and instruction
• The ways parents will be responsible for supporting their children’s learning
• The ways students will be responsible for their learning
• The importance of ongoing communication between parents and teachers through, at a minimum, an-nual parent-teacher conferences; frequent reports on student progress; access to staff; opportunities for parents to volunteer and participate in their child’s class; and opportunities to observe classroom activities

Parental InvolvementContinued from page 2
The school provides Title I parents with assistance in understanding the state’s academic content standards, assessments, and how to monitor and improve the achievement of their children at the annual Title I Confer-ence and during parent meetings throughout the school year.
Overall school performance is discussed during our Title I conference and throughout the year at ELAC, SSC and SAC meetings, and individual student performance is discussed during individual conferences. For struggling students, Student Success Team meetings are held to enact intervention and support. Parents play an important role in this process. The school provides Title I parents with materials and training to help them work with their children throughout the school year by providing Parent Institute brochures and pamphlets. These are displayed in the main office, and shared at meetings for helpful suggestions in academic and be-havioral areas. Throughout the year training is provided at meetings on helping children with reading, math, writing and science at home. Teachers work informally with parents throughout the year as need arises. With the assistance of Title I parents, the school educates staff members about the value of parent contributions and in how to work with parents as equal partners.
The school coordinates and integrates the Title I parental involvement program with other programs and conducts other activities, such as International Day, Open House and the Health Fair Fun Run. Parents are invited to attend trimester awards assemblies, the Halloween Costume Parade and Winter Holiday Program.
Kelso provides opportunities for the participation of all Title I parents, including parents with limited English proficiency, parents with disabilities and parents of migratory students. The school distributes information re-lated to school and parent programs, meetings and other activities to Title I parents in a format and language that the parents understand. Staff is available to answer questions about all information sent home in English or Spanish.
For more information on how to become involved, please contact Principal Dr. Brian Coffey or School Site Council President Samuel Napier at (310) 680-5480.
Professional DevelopmentKelso Elementary uses data from frequent formative assessments and benchmarks to inform Grade Level Cohort Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) meet twice per month. Grade-level PLCs have release time from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. every seven instructional days to collaborate. Instructional leaders are elected to lead Grade Level Cohorts. This team meets with the principal twice per month.
Kelso’s ILT and SSC identified English language development (ELD) as an instructional focus for the 2015-16 school year, along with implementation of a Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports initiative. These programs are monitored through regular administrative walk-throughs and periodic Instructional Rounds.
School SafetyThe safety of students and staff at Kelso is a primary objective, and the school adheres to a strict safety plan. The plan includes monthly fire drills, quarterly earthquake drills and biannual shelter-in-place drills. The plan is regularly modified to meet the changing needs of the school. All staff members are provided copies of the plan and receive annual training specific to safety procedures. The school safety plan was most recently reviewed and updated in August 2015. For the safety of students and staff, Kelso is a closed campus. All visitors must check in with the main office.
“College and Career Begins at Kelso!”School Mission StatementThe mission of Kelso Elementary School is to ensure that our students develop strong academic achievement through an enriched, diverse and rigorous curriculum, which utilizes the latest technology in a safe, supportive and student-centered environment that nurtures positive cultural and social values.

Federal Intervention ProgramSchools and districts receiving Title I funding that fail to meet AYP over two consecutive years in the same content area (English language arts or mathematics) or on the same indicator enter into Program Improvement (PI). Each additional year that the district or school(s) do not meet AYP results in advancement to the next level of intervention. The percentage of schools identified for Program Improvement is calculated by taking the number of schools currently in PI within the district and dividing it by the total number of Title I schools within the district.
This table displays the 2015-16 Program Improvement status for the school and district. For detailed information about PI identification, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/tidetermine.asp.

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress/Standardized Testing and Reporting Results Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program was eliminated and replaced by a new set of assessments called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).
For the 2015 school year, the CAASSP included a mix of online and paper-pencil assessments. The online component contained the Smarter Balanced English language arts/literacy and mathematics tests. The paper-pencil science assessments of CAASPP included the California Standards Test (CST), California Modified Assessment (CMA) and California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). There was also the optional Standards-based Tests in Spanish for reading/language arts.
The CST is a multiple-choice test in science for varying grade levels. The CMA is a modified assessment for students with disabilities who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The CAPA is an alternate assessment for students with significant cognitive disabilities who are unable to take the CST with accommodations or modifications or the CMA with accommodations.
For more information on the CAASPP assessments, please visit www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca.
CAASPP by Student Group: English Language Arts and MathematicsThe tables on the following page display the information on student achievement at each performance level in English language arts and mathematics for the school by student groups for grades 3-6.
Levels of achievement include:
• Level 1 = Standard not met
• Level 2 = Standard nearly met
• Level 3 = Standard met
• Level 4 = Standard exceeded
Note: The number of students tested includes students that did not receive a score. However, the number of students tested is not the number that was used to calculate the performance level percentages. The performance level percentages are calculated using students with scores.v Scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or fewer, either because the number of students tested
in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to protect student privacy.

Textbooks and Instructional MaterialsTextbook committees were formed from each grade span: TK-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Committee members included administrators and teachers representative of each grade level and/or department. Each committee attended textbook “toolbox” training through the Los Angeles County Office of Education. These trainings provided members with rubrics and checklists for staff to use during the selection process. The committee used the toolbox to select at least three state-approved publishers to pilot throughout the district. Teachers piloted all options, analyzed each using the toolbox rubrics, and voted for the most appropriate state-approved textbook. In addition, the piloted textbooks were on display at the district for parent input. The committees used all data to make final recommendations to the Advisory Board and state administrator for approval. Each textbook adoption was approved at a public board meeting.
The state administrator makes the final decision on textbook adoptions.
The most recent public hearing held to adopt a resolution on the sufficiency of instructional materials was held on October 29, 2015. All IUSD textbooks are chosen using the state-approved list, and fit with in the California curriculum frameworks for that adoption.

School Facility Items Inspected The tables show the results of the school’s most recent inspection using the Facility Inspection Tool (FIT) or equivalent school form. The following is a list of items inspected.
School FacilitiesKelso Elementary School is located in Inglewood, California, across the street from the MSG Forum and Hollywood Park Casino. The main building was built in 1925 and consists of the administra-tive offices, a library and 10 classrooms. Sixteen portables on the campus serve as classrooms and resource rooms.
Kelso’s playground is in the center of the campus and includes a play structure, swing set and slide. A teaching garden is located in the northeastern corner of the campus and includes ten planter boxes.
Kelso has one day and one night custodi-an to keep the campus clean and in good repair. Work orders are submitted to the Maintenance Department when repairs beyond the scope of general custodial duties arise.
Students are supervised in the morning by staff posted at the entrance gate, in the cafeteria and on the playground. During recess and lunchtime, three noon-duty aides and two or more staff from the CF Fitness program organize and supervise structured play activities for students.
In 2015, IUSD refurbished the stage in Kelso’s multipurpose room. This project involved removal of the accordion doors, stripping, sanding and staining of the stage’s original wood floors.
Deficiencies and RepairsThe table lists the repairs required for all deficiencies found during the site inspection. Regardless of each item’s repair status, all deficiencies are listed.
For all items inspected that were found to not be in “good repair,” a work-order has been created and main-tenance will be done before the end of the 2015-16 school year. Maintenance items will be prioritized so that student safety is not compromised.

Core Academic Classes Taught by Highly Qualified TeachersThe No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) extended the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to require that core academic subjects be taught by “highly qualified” teachers, defined as having at least a bachelor’s degree, an appropriate California teaching credential, and demonstrated competence for each core academic subject area he or she teaches. The table displays data regarding highly qualified teachers from the 2014-15 school year.
High-poverty schools are defined as those schools with student participation of approximately 40 percent or more in the free and reduced priced meals program. Low-poverty schools are those with student participation of approximately 39 percent or less in the free and reduced priced meals program. For more information on teacher qualifications related to NCLB, visit www.cde.ca.gov/nclb/sr/tq.
