School districts receive funding from different sources: state funds under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), other state funds, local funds, and federal funds. LCFF funds include a base level of funding for all LEAs and extra funding - called "supplemental and concentration" grants - to LEAs based on the enrollment of high needs students (foster youth, English learners, and low-income students).

Budget Overview for the 2019-20 LCAP Year

This chart shows the total general purpose revenue Elevate Elementary expects to receive in the coming year from all sources.

The total revenue projected for Elevate Elementary is $3,650,459.14, of which $2,749,248.99 is Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), $155,670.84 is other state funds, $317,652.92 is local funds, and $427,886.39 is federal funds. Of the $2,749,248.99 in LCFF Funds, $201,572.19 is generated based on the enrollment of high needs students (foster youth, English learner, and low-income students).

The LCFF gives school districts more flexibility in deciding how to use state funds. In exchange, school districts must work with parents, educators, students, and the community to develop a Local Control and Acccountability Plan (LCAP) that shows how they will use these funds to serve students.

2017-20 Plan Summary

The Story Describe the students and community and how the LEA serves them.

The mission of Elevate Elementary Charter School, a K-5 public school located in the Serra Mesa and Tierrasanta (2 school sites) communities of San Diego, is to equip tomorrow’s global innovators by inspiring students to be excellent in academics, exceptional in leadership, and extraordinary in creativity. Having operated for five years, Elevate serves a diverse community of approximately 319 learners.

Our student population is 46% Caucasian, 24% Hispanic, 12% Two or More Races, 10% African American, 4% Asian, 2% Filipino, of which 12% are Students with Disabilities (SWD), 9.4% English Learners, and 32% who qualify for free/reduced lunch.

One reason Elevate was founded was to provide a high-quality, personalized educational alternative for students from military families. These students are three times more likely to move during their school years than their civilian peers and often attend multiple schools during their formative educational years.

Our population typically consists of 40-50% of students with at least one parent in active military service.

Student learning throughout the year is organized into five thematic, interdisciplinary, project-based learning (PBL) units: Community, Character, Service, Justice/Diversity, and Discovery. Elevate’s approach to PBL balances the imperative of being rigorous and standards-based, while providing opportunities for student creativity, voice, and choice as they apply their learning in meaningful ways. During each unit, students work toward answering an essential question with their culminating project, which they share with a public audience comprised of peers, parents, and/or community members at bi-annual Student Exhibition Nights and

in other settings. Capping all class sizes at twenty-five students provides the opportunity for each classroom teacher to continually assess and monitor the learning levels of each student.

A core belief of our school is that every child is a leader. As a Leader in Me school Stephen Covey’s timeless leadership principles, the 7 Habits, are integrated into the fabric of our school. The 7 Habits provide a common whole-school language and are woven throughout each unit. Students practice leadership in the classroom and by serving on Peace Patrol, Safety Team, and Student Lighthouse Team. In addition, every classroom leads two whole-school assemblies where even our youngest students get the invaluable experience of speaking before over 250 students and adults.

Elevate actively partners with our families to co-create a vibrant school community where the needs of students are put first. Coffee with the Principal and family events are held throughout the year, providing opportunity for genuine relationship building and dialogue, and parents are invited and encouraged to play an active role on our school campus. On any given day, parents can be found working in classrooms, helping out with a PE lesson, serving on our board, and organizing special events and projects.

In 2018, Elevate Elementary was the recipient of the California Distinguished School.

This year, our school’s charter was renewed by San Diego Unified School District to operate an additional 5 years.

Elevate continues to serve a high percentage of students from military families and has welcomed a growingly diverse student body, now comprised of students from families who speak 10 different languages at home. Professional learning for teachers focused on deepening understanding and practice of project-based learning within each of our five thematic units, as well as engaging in rich and productive collaboration in grade-level Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

LCAP Highlights Identify and briefly summarize the key features of this year’s LCAP.

Additional staffing was added to support our growing number of EL students. Professional learning focused on culturally responsive instruction, as well as deepening students’ math understanding and problem-solving. The Leader in Me program equips students, staff, and parents to collaboratively create a strong school culture with high expectations, challenge, and support for all.


Review of Performance Based on a review of performance on the state indicators and local performance indicators included in the California School Dashboard, progress toward LCAP goals, local self-assessment tools, stakeholder input, or other information, what progress is the LEA most proud of and how does the LEA plan to maintain or build upon that success? This may include identifying any specific examples of how past increases or improvements in services for low-income students, English learners, and foster youth have led to improved performance for these students.

Greatest Progress

Elevate Elementary is proud of its “Green” Performance Category for the ELA and Math State Indicators as evidenced in the following chart. Our teachers provide challenge and rigor in the classroom throughout the year. The Leader in Me program equips students to take ownership of their own learning and persevere through challenging tasks.

Referring to the California School Dashboard, identify any state indicator or local performance indicator for which overall performance was in the “Red” or “Orange” performance category or where the LEA received a “Not Met” or “Not Met for Two or More Years” rating. Additionally, identify any areas that the LEA has determined need significant improvement based on review of local performance indicators or other local indicators. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these areas with the greatest need for improvement?

Greatest Needs

Elevate Elementary received an “Orange” Performance Category for the Chronic Absenteeism Indicator; and a “Yellow” for Suspension Rate. As a result, Elevate Elementary will implement the following actions/services for the 2019-20 school year:

- Elevate Elementary will continue to implement a comprehensive suite of services to meet the academic, social-emotional and behavioral needs of our students.


- RtI Support Staff at each site during the instructional day; Universal Access Block to provide additional academic support for 30 minutes daily In addition, our school will utilize the following web-based intervention programs for students who struggle academically: using Measure UP; Achieve 3000/Smarty Ants; and Raz Kids. (Goal 1, Action 3)

- The School’s Counselor will provide social-emotional and behavioral support. The Counselor and/or Counseling Interns, will lead Friendship Groups, specifically for students of military families who are undergoing transitions. The Friendship Group will rotate every 8 weeks. The Counselor will also lead the Second Step Character Education lessons twice per month, in each classroom that will be paired with the 7 habits program. The Dean of Students will coordinate RtI support and leadership development. Elevate Elementary will continue to implement the Leaders in Me Program/7 Habits (Student workbooks), led by the Counselor. Our teachers will continue to receive professional development on the Leader in Me. Elevate will partner with Travis Manion Foundation that will provide mentoring services for our students. (Goal 1, Action 4)

- Professional Development for all teachers: Leader in Me, Restorative Justice (Goal 2, Action 1)

- Access to a Broad Course of Study beyond core subjects that include: STEAM class; Physical Education and ArtCorps lessons (Goal 2, Action 6)

- Administer an evidence-based survey to Students, Parents and Staff (Goal 3, Action 1)

- Field trips that provide experiential learning opportunities for students (Goal 3, Action 1)

Referring to the California School Dashboard, identify any state indicator for which performance for any student group was two or more performance levels below the “all student” performance. What steps is the LEA planning to take to address these performance gaps?

Performance Gaps

The following student groups earned an “Orange” Performance Category for Suspension Rate: Hispanic & White; and “Yellow” Performance Category Chronic Absenteeism for the White, and 2+ Races student group. These two indicators are highly volatile for small schools, such as Elevate Elementary as evidenced in the following charts:


The chart on the left reflects the 2016-17 chronic absenteeism rate, cumulative enrollment and the total number of students that were identified as chronically absent; further disaggregated by student group. In 2016-17 school year, Elevate had 11 students who were identified as chronically absent and it rose to 18 students in 2017-18, a 5.7% chronic absenteeism rate resulting in an “Orange” Performance Category.

For the White student group, a total number of 4 students were identified as chronically absent in 2016-17; and it rose to 7 in 2017-18 resulting in chronic absenteeism rate of 4.7%.

For the 2+ Races student group; 1 student was chronically absent in 2016-17; and 1 in 2017-18, however since the “n” size increased it resulted in a decline from 3.6% to 2.6%.

For suspension rates: the following two charts provide the cumulative enrollment, number of suspension, suspension rate and percentage of students suspend once and multiple times for 2016-17 and 2017-18.

In 2016-17, zero Hispanic students were suspended and in 2017-18 a total of 1 Hispanic student was suspended, which resulted in a suspension rate of 1.2% and an “Orange” Performance Category.

In 2016-17 One White student was suspended; and in 2017-18, two students were suspended resulting in a 1.4% suspension rate; and an “Orange” Performance Category.

As a result, Elevate Elementary will implement the following actions/services for the 2019-20 school year:

- Elevate Elementary will continue to implement a comprehensive suite of services to meet the academic, social-emotional and behavioral needs of our students.


- RtI Support Staff at each site during the instructional day; Universal Access Block to provide additional academic support for 30 minutes daily In addition, our school will utilize the following web-based intervention programs for students who struggle academically: using Measure UP; Achieve 3000/Smarty Ants; and Raz Kids.
