The 793 API is incorrect. It should be 801. Santa Lucia reached over 800 on the STAR exams this year and was asked to apply to be a California Distinguished School by the state Board of Education. It passed the evaluation by the visiting team and was awarded the designation of 'Distinguished School for 2008 - 2009' just this month. There were only 2 schools in this county that received that award this year. The teachers and staff were able to reach all subgroups of students to show equitable improvement in all areas.
Both of my children attended this school and thrived while here. One still does. They were involved in extracurricular activities and sports, and were/are engaged in their academic learning. The principal is involved with the campus and students every day interacting with the students during lunch and breaks. Teachers have been and are dedicated to seeing that students within their classes perform to the state standards and higher. They spend hours after school (beyond the usual teacher hours) working with students or collaborating with each other. They are experienced, highly educated professionals with a willingness to learn and try new technology and /or strategies to see that every student learns at Santa Lucia.
This school continues to under perform despite good community involvement. The school in general needs new faces and a fresh start. Politics will prevent this, however. It is depressing to watch this school under preform year after year. The Math program is abysmal, which doesn't bode well. If you want mediocrity and status quo this is your school!
SL is a small place run. It needs fresh leadership to bring it into the 21st century. Parents are not welcomed into the process of setting the direction for the school. They are utilized as volunteers, but have little effect on the school's overall direction. There are several dedicated teachers, but in general the school lacks perspective on the amount of homework required for middle school students. SL needs new leadership and fresh perspectives.
