Team Consists of:

• High School Assistant Principals (District Staff)
• Academic Advisors (Classified Staff that is not the same as a "Credentialed" Counselor). CUSD just hired 30 real Certificated Counselors why are they not on this Committee?
• ROP- CTE Staff (District Staff) (A lot of the "CTE" staff does not hold a CTE credential).

and finally-

• Teaches- (based on on interest)

District Staff and Union Members are on the Committee.

The only thing you really need to know If your child wants the option of attending a 4-year selective University:

• They need to complete Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra 2 by the end of the 11th grade (recommend 10th grade) so that they can score well on their College Entrance exams.
• They need to complete all the A-G requirements.
• GPA- Students need to show "rigor" in 9th and 10th Grade by taking Honors classes; and then show above a 4.0 GPA in 10th and 11th by taking AP classes- CUSD does not provide sufficient honors classes for 9th and 10th grade students to show rigor. CUSD students are at a great disadvantage to their peers in Orange County and the world due to a lack of honors classes.

EAP Data:

EAP data shows that ONLY 3% of 11th grade students are college ready in Algebra 2 by the end of 11th grade-

A-G Completion Rate:

A-G Completion Rate in CUSD is 52.5% which means 47.5% of students will have no option but to go to Community College or pursue a career after graduating from CUSD.
