LEAs may also provide  |\n| --- |\n| \u003Cbr>information about their strategic plan, vision, etc. |\n| Santa Cruz County is located along the scenic Central Coast of California at the northern edge of the Monterey Bay. Though geographically the second smallest county in the state, it spans a diverse range of communities, from the rural northern area of Davenport to the agricultural city of Watsonville in the Pajaro Valley. The Santa Cruz County Office of Education (SCCOE) operates a comprehensive Alternative Education (Alt Ed) Department, including Court and Community Schools strategically located throughout the county to meet the varied needs of our students.\u003Cbr>Our Alt Ed programs serve a highly mobile and diverse student population, with daily enrollment typically ranging between 700–900 students and approximately 1,000 students served annually. While many of our students have experienced significant challenges in traditional school settings, our staff holds a shared and unwavering belief that all students can succeed when provided with a supportive, responsive, and student-centered learning environment. Through strong partnerships with families, community organizations, and dedicated educators, we strive to create safe, inclusive, and community-based environments where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. In the Watsonville region, SCCOE has taken strategic steps to strengthen access to services and supports. Following the loss of our lease at the Cabrillo Watsonville site, several programs were consolidated into the newly established Centro Avance site. This transition created a second centralized hub for the Watsonville community, improving coordination of services and expanding access to critical academic, behavioral, and family supports. Centro Avance now serves as a key resource center, enhancing SCCOE’s ability to respond to the needs of students and school sites in the Pajaro Valley. |\n\n\n| \u003Cbr>A reflection on annual performance based on a review of the California School Dashboard (Dashboard) and local data. |\n| --- |\n| During the 23-24 school year, the development of the LCAP coincided with our full WASC self-study process which gave us the opportunity to spend a considerable amount of time as a team to review our successes and challenges and thoroughly develop the three-year LCAP.\u003Cbr>25-26 Reflections:\u003Cbr>In 2025–26, Santa Cruz County Community Schools showed overall stability with no indicators in the red. English Learner progress improved or was maintained across all categories. The suspension rate increased by 1.3%, resulting in an overall orange status. Graduation rates rose significantly by 8.6% to 81.3%, with no student groups in the red, and a strong one-year DASS graduation rate of 90.5% . Chronic absenteeism did not receive a color designation due to small group size. College and career readiness remains an area of concern, with red performance for Hispanic, homeless, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students, and an overall orange status. Academic performance in English Language Arts and math increased overall, though both areas show disparities, with the White student group identified in the red. Despite the growth made and indicators showing progress in many areas, the LCAP is required to continue to list and report on the 2023 Dashboard results which are located at the bottom of this section and note that our County Court School qualifies for Equity Multiplier Funding.\u003Cbr>Our local data from the Star Renaissance shows that we are continuing to reduce disparities between student group performance and w","cbCaicQNAKfWPv55","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicQNAKfWPv55","pdf",1528587,79,"English","# LEA Overview\n## Alternative Education Programs and Student Supports\n# Annual Performance Reflections\n## Dashboard Review and Local Data Highlights\n## 25-26 Key Indicator Results\n## Equity Multiplier Funding Note","[{\"question\":\"What student population does SCCOE’s Alternative Education programs serve?\",\"answer\":\"SCCOE’s Alternative Education (Alt Ed) Department serves transitional kindergarten–12 students, including a highly mobile and diverse population served through court and community schools across the county.\"},{\"question\":\"What major changes were reported for the 25-26 school year performance indicators?\",\"answer\":\"English Learner progress improved or was maintained.
