Buchser Middle School2021 School Accountability Report Card------2021-22 School Accountability Report CardGeneral Information about the School Accountability Report Card (SARC)SARC OverviewBy February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law topublish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC containsinformation about the condition and performance of each California public school.Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies(LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP),which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils,with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, datareported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.For more information about SARC requirements and access to prior year reports,see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page atwww.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/For more information about the LCFF or the LCAP, see the CDE LCFF web pageat www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and communitymembers should contact the school principal or the district office.DataQuestDataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest web page atdq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school andcomparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest isa dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data,enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and dataregarding English learners).California School DashboardThe California School Dashboard (Dashboard) www.caschooldashboard.org/reflects California’s new accountability and continuous improvement system andprovides information about how LEAs and schools are meeting the needs ofCalifornia’s diverse student population. The Dashboard contains reports thatdisplay the performance of LEAs, schools, and student groups on a set of stateand local measures to assist in identifying strengths, challenges, and areas inneed of improvement.Internet AccessInternet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publiclyaccessible (e.g., the California State Library).

The City of Santa Clara is situated in a choice central locationin Santa Clara County with easy access to a variety of educational, cultural and recreational facilities. Buchser is located on31.5 acres two blocks from Santa Clara University. The Buchser campus is the site of one of the first high schools in the Stateof California.This Bellomy Street site of the old Santa Clara High is the mother school of the district with an extremely rich history that goesback well over 100 years. Santa Clara Grammar School accommodated both high school and elementary students until 1905when a new building was opened for the upper grades. The Bellomy Street school served the community as a high school until1922 when the second Santa Clara High School opened. The building was razed in 1966 because it did not meet earthquakesafety standards. The new Santa Clara High was opened in 1970 making it the newest/oldest school in the district.Buchser Middle School is named for Emil R. Buchser, a long-time teacher, principal, and superintendent in Santa ClaraSchools. Mr. Buchser was appointed principal and served in the dual role of principal and superintendent of Santa Clara UnionHigh School and Elementary District in 1956. He retired in 1960.Buchser Junior High School opened in September of 1981 with nearly 1900 seventh, eighth and ninth graders. Until then therehad been four high schools in Santa Clara - Wilcox, Santa Clara, Buchser, and Peterson High Schools. Because of decliningenrollment, two high schools were closed in 1981. Buchser High School was renamed Santa Clara High School. Santa ClaraHigh became Buchser Junior High. In 1986 Buchser Junior High was renamed Buchser Middle School and became atraditional middle school with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.Mission StatementBuchser Middle school is dedicated to creating contributing citizens who are life-long learners.Vision StatementAt Buchser Middle School, we strive to develop the Whole Child. We seek for students to be:*Safe*Healthy2021-22 School Accountability Report CardPage 2 of 25Buchser Middle School
2021-22 School Overview*Engaged*Challenged*SupportedOver the past 4 years, Buchser has focused on highlighting our efforts as a Whole Child school. This has allowed the school tohone in on the variety of students' needs, including social-emotional health, trauma informed teachers and teaching practices.We are finding that the Whole Child lens helps us to address each child as individuals. Does the student need social/emotionalsupport? Is there a safety concern, especially regarding bullying, stress, or anxiety? Does the child need to be morechallenged? More supported? How can we best engage all students, but most importantly, how do we engage students whomight feel marginalized, especially our student of color, SPED students, or other abled? With the pillars of safe, healthy,engaged, challenged, and supported as our drivers of the Whole Child vision we have been more able to "see" all students andask questions that are most germane to meet their learning needs.--------About this School2021-22 Student Enrollment by Grade Level2020-21 Student Enrollment by Grade LevelGrade LevelNumber of StudentsGrade 6290Grade 7320Grade 8355Total Enrollment9652020-21 Student Enrollment by Student Group2020-21 Student Enrollment by Student GroupStudent GroupPercent of Total EnrollmentAmerican Indian or Alaska Native0.4Asian14.6Black or African American3.1Filipino9Hispanic or Latino42.8Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander0.5Two or More Races5.7White23.8English Learners21.9Foster Youth0.3Homeless0.3Socioeconomically Disadvantaged46.6Students with Disabilities19.52021-22 School Accountability Report CardPage 3 of 25Buchser Middle School

School Facility Conditions and Planned ImprovementsSchool Facility Conditions and Planned ImprovementsGeneralSanta Clara Unified School District (SCUSD) takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional. Toassist in this effort, SCUSD uses a facility survey instrument developed by the State of California OPSC. The results of thissurvey are available by request made to the SCUSD’s Facilities department at (408) 423-2061.Below is more specific information on the condition of the school and the efforts made to ensure that students are provided witha clean, safe, and functional learning environment.Maintenance and RepairSCUSD maintenance staff ensures that the repairs necessary to keep the school in good repair and working order arecompleted in a timely manner. A work order process is used to ensure efficient service and that emergency repairs are giventhe highest priority.Cleaning Process and ScheduleThe governing board has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in SCUSD, Board Policy 3514. The policy can be foundonline at www.santaclarausd.org/BoardPolicies. The principal works daily with the custodial staff to develop cleaning schedulesto ensure a clean and safe school.Deferred MaintenanceSCUSD participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program to assist school districts with expenditures for majorrepair or replacement of existing school building components. Typically, this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, airconditioning, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems.Modernization ProjectsSCUSD strives to be a model of financial responsibility, making every effort to spend taxpayer dollars wisely. At the same time,ongoing bond programs are necessary in a district this large, with so many students, teachers, and facilities needs. Bond fundsallow the District to maintain safe, modern school facilities and bring in updated technology essential to student achievement.Measure B 1997 improvements included new elementary school play structures, new high school science classrooms andoutdoor athletic facilities, the major renovation of eleven elementary schools, an ambitious roof replacement program, and twohigh school performing arts buildings. Measure J 2004 generated funds to modernize buildings and classrooms for middleschools, high schools, and the adult education campus. Measure H 2010 upgraded fire, safety and security systems, renovatedand reopened a closed elementary school, installed solar panels to decrease energy costs, purchased the Agnews campusproperty, and expanded overcrowded schools. Measure H 2014 funds construction of three new schools on the Agnewscampus, expands overcrowded schools, and addresses critical facility needs such as replacing roofs and adding airconditioning to elementary school classrooms. Measure BB 2018 funds the construction of three new schools, reconstructsfields, replaces aging play structures and playground paving, adds shade structures, and upgrades fencing and gates, amongmany other crucial projects.

B. Pupil Outcomes (State Priority: Pupil Achievement)B. Pupil OutcomesState Priority: Pupil AchievementThe SARC provides the following information relevant to the State priority: PupilAchievement (Priority 4):Statewide Assessments(i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP]System includes the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments for students inthe general education population and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs]for English language arts/literacy [ELA] and mathematics given in grades threethrough eight and grade eleven. Only eligible students may participate in theadministration of the CAAs. CAAs items are aligned with alternate achievementstandards, which are linked with the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] forstudents with the most significant cognitive disabilities).The CAASPP System encompasses the following assessments and studentparticipation requirements:1. Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments and CAAs for ELA in gradesthree through eight and grade eleven.2. Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments and CAAs for mathematicsin grades three through eight and grade eleven.3. California Science Test (CAST) and CAAs for Science in grades five, eight,and once in high school (i.e., grade ten, eleven, or twelve).SARC Reporting in the 2020-2021 School Year OnlyWhere the most viable option, LEAs were required to administer the statewidesummative assessment in ELA and mathematics. Where a statewide summativeassessment was not the most viable option for the LEA (or for one or more gradelevel[s] within the LEA) due to the pandemic, LEAs were allowed to report resultsfrom a different assessment that met the criteria established by the State Board ofEducation (SBE) on March 16, 2021. The assessments were required to be: Aligned with CA CCSS for ELA and mathematics;Available to students in grades 3 through 8, and grade 11; andUniformly administered across a grade, grade span, school, or district to alleligible students.OptionsNote that the CAAs could only be administered in-person following health andsafety requirements. If it was not viable for the LEA to administer the CAAs inperson with health and safety guidelines in place, the LEA was directed to notadminister the tests. There were no other assessment options available for theCAAs. Schools administered the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments forELA and mathematics, other assessments that meet the SBE criteria, or acombination of both, and they could only choose one of the following: Smarter Balanced ELA and mathematics summative assessments;Other assessments meeting the SBE criteria; orCombination of Smarter Balanced ELA and mathematics summativeassessments and other assessments.The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that satisfythe requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California StateUniversity, or career technical education sequences or programs of study.2021-22 School Accountability Report CardPage 8 of 25Buchser Middle School
