EduCare Foundation After School Program Report Card for 2010-2011

This report describes the participants, participation levels, and outcomes of the 2010-2011 high school after school

program operated by EduCare Foundation. Participant data includes the gender, ethnicity, English Learner (EL)

status, and grade level of students. Outcomes measured include students’ changes in regular school day attendance

when compared with the previous year, performance on the English-Language Arts (ELA) and Math portions of the

California Standards Test (CST) and the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE), graduation rates and

percentages of students Redesignated as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP). Relationships between after school

program attendance and these key outcomes are examined.

Section 1: Participation Demographics

During the 2010-2011 school year, a total of 8,849 high school students participated in the after school program for at

least one day. Participation levels are reported and compared by grade level in the next section of this report.

Section 2: After School Program Attendance

Percentage of Students in Each Program Attendance Category

Figure 5 shows the percentage of students who fell within each of

five attendance categories for the after school program (1-2 days, 3-

5 days, 6-13 days, 14-31 days, or 32-232 days).

Students were grouped into five quintiles based on the number of

days they attended the after school program. Quintile groupings

were determined by assigning each EduCare Foundation after

school participant a percentile rank and dividing them into five equal

percentile groups (1st-19th, 20th-39th, 40th-59th, 60th-79th, 80th-99th).

These quintiles, or “program attendance categories”, are used in the

analysis of measurable outcomes throughout this report.

Figure 5

Number of Days Students Attended the After School Program The average after school participant attended the program for approximately 16.6 days. The mean number of days that students attended the after school program is disaggregated by grade level in Figure 6.

Section 3: Regular School Day Attendance

Mean Change in Regular Day Attendance by After School Attendance Category

The line graph in Figure 7 shows the relationship between change in regular school day attendance and attending the after school program. Changes in attendance from the baseline year are shown for each of five attendance categories. Changes represent the difference (+ or -) in the mean number of regular school days after school participants attended in 2010-2011 when compared with the previous year.

The green line indicates mean changes in regular day attendance for after school participants. Similar data is shown in blue for non-after school participants.

Figure 7

Mean Number of Regular School Days Attended by After School Attendance Category The bar graph in Figure 8 shows the relationship between regular school day attendance and attending the after school program over the past three school years. Mean numbers of regular school days attended by students are shown for each of five after school attendance categories, with a zero category added for non-participants. Three differently colored bars are shown within each attendance category to represent means for different school years.

Section 4: Academic Achievement

The relationship between after school program participation and academic achievement in English-Language Arts

(ELA) and Math was analyzed using California Standards Test Results (CST) and 10th grade passing rates on the

California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). High school graduation rates and percentages of students

Redesignated as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) were also measured as academic outcomes.

California Standards Test (CST) Performance in English-Language Arts (ELA) To determine the relationship between after school program participation and academic achievement in ELA, students were grouped into five program attendance categories based on quintiles (1-2 days, 3-5 days, 6-13 days, 14-31 days, and 32-232 days).

10th Grade CAHSEE Passing Rate The percentages of students passing the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) in ELA and Math were compared between after school program participants and non-participants in the 10th grade. These comparisons are shown for the past three school years using bar graphs in Figure 16 and 17. After school participants who attended the program for 6 or more days were included in these comparisons. Unduplicated passing rates were used, meaning that each student was counted as either passing or not passing the CAHSEE one time during the school year, regardless of the number of attempts.

High School Graduation Rate Figure 18 examines the relationship between attending the after school program and graduation from high school. The bar graph shows the graduation rates among high school seniors by the number of years they attended the after school program. For this comparison, graduation rate is defined as the percentage of seniors who graduated within each group. Attendance groups were determined by the total number of years seniors attended the after school program while in high school. For example, students in the 2-year cohort attended the after school program for at least one day during their senior year and at least one day during one other year of high school. Non-participants are students who did not participate in the after school program during any year of high school.

Figure 18 Percentage of Students Redesignated as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) The bar graph in Figure 19 shows the percentages of RFEP students (in all grade levels) for each of five after school attendance categories, with a zero category added for non-participants. Three differently colored bars are shown within each attendance category to represent percentages for different school years.

Principal’s Satisfaction Survey

Principals’ Perceptions of Beyond the Bell After School Programs

Agency: EduCare Foundation High Schools: Bell, Jordan New Tech, Lincoln, and San Fernando At the conclusion of the each three school year, Educational Resource Consultants (ERC)

administers an online survey to principals (or assistant principals) at 52 high schools within the

Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) with 21st Century after school programs operated

by 11 different agencies. This report summarizes survey results from the past two years for

after school programs operated by the EduCare Foundation at four LAUSD high schools; Bell,

Jordan New Tech, Lincoln, and San Fernando. Please note that data was not available for Jordan

New Tech in 2010-11. District results from the past three years are included as an appendix.

The survey contains 51 multiple choice items designed to capture principals’ perceptions of

their after school program in seven categories:

Homework Assistance: Quality of homework assistance provided, staff qualifications,

and skills of the staff in regards to academics and student management.

Academic Enrichment: Quality and variety of academic enrichment activities, and staff

qualifications to lead these activities.

Arts Enrichment: Quality of the art, music, dance and dramatic activities and the staff

who lead these activities.

Sports & Athletics: Quality and variety of sports and other athletic activities, and the

staff’s qualifications to lead these activities.

Coordination/Use of Facilities: Quality of communication with the after school

program, cleanliness of rooms and facilities, safeguarding the school’s equipment.

Parent/Teacher Satisfaction: Principal opinion of parent and teacher ratings of how well

the after school program safeguards students and overall ratings.

Agency/Community Support: After school program’s effectiveness in keeping principal

informed and satisfying requests/requirements; the support the after school program

receives from local businesses, community-based organizations and colleges.

Survey methods, items, and reporting is a replication of a similar survey that is simultaneously

conducted among LAUSD’s elementary after school programs by Research Support Services

(RSS). On the graphs in this report, each bar represents a mean score for multiple principals’

responses to multiple items within a particular category. For each survey item, principals

evaluated an aspect of the after school program on a scale of 1-4: Excellent (4), Good (3), Fair

(2), and Poor (1). The lowest possible score on an item was 1.0. Items with no response were

dropped from the analysis.
