Inquiry and Action
San Diego City Schools
Process for Accountability Review (PAR)
In 1997 the San Diego City Schools Board of
Education approved A District Accountability
System for Improving Student Achievement. The
system monitored student performance at each
school, helping to identify school and student
needs, and provided support to schools in
improving achievement for all students. Schools
successful in improving student achievement
were rewarded. Schools that didn’t meet
improvement targets received support and
intervention from the district in order to
improve student performance.
In the first phase of analysis, or “first cut,”
in the spring of 1998, each school within the
San Diego City Schools received data on student
performance that included results from
standardized tests, portfolios and exhibitions
of student work, report-card grades, and other
indicators of student learning. The reports,
which included information on the performance
of student subgroups, were intended to give
schools a clear picture of how students were
performing and to provide suggestions to
improve student learning and achievement.
This student-performance data served as a
baseline for each school. From this baseline
school-improvement targets were set and
progress monitored over time to assess school
success.
For those schools that were meeting their
student-performance targets, the district provided
awards and recognition. Schools not
meeting their improvement targets were designated
as “Needs Review” and, in a second phase
of analysis, or “second cut,” participated in a
review process: the Process for Accountability
Review, or p ar. The review consisted of two
components: an internal review and an external
review. During an internal review, the school
staff had an opportunity to emphasize and
build on strengths and identify and analyze the
issues affecting student learning. Additionally
and equally important, the school assessed
whether it was receiving adequate support
from parents, the district, and the community
to meet the improvement targets.
The external review was conducted by a
team of teachers, school administrators and
other district staff, parents, students, and community
members. The external review was
intended to clarify issues raised by the internal
review and to identify other possible challenges
facing the school. Additionally, the team examined
whether the school staff, district staff,
community members, students, and parents
had all met their responsibilities in the education
of students at the school.
During the school year 1997–1998,
the district piloted the review process, releasing
information from three years of results
from standardized tests, report cards, and
advanced placement course completion for
high school students. A total of twenty schools
with low performance or a decline in student
performance over the past three years were
identified as “Needs Review” and participated
in a PAR. Once the process was completed,
feedback was obtained and changes in the
process and in the review tools were made
based on observations and recommendations
by teams and school participants.
In the school year 2000–2001, schools
were scheduled to formally analyze student performance
data against previously set
improvement targets, and, if necessary, go
through the review process using a revised
version of the p ar rubrics, which are reproduced
in the following pages. The revised
rubrics were to serve as the lens through which
schools themselves and the review teams
assessed the schools.
The first set of PAR rubrics were designed to help a school improvement
team address three critical questions,
or focus areas, as part of a selfstudy
process:
- Why is school performance the way it is?
- What is the whole picture? (Is there more to
know about performance than the “first cut”
indicates?)
- What are you doing to enable students to
make progress?
Each row of the rubrics contains a description
of varying levels of performance in a particular
area, from 4, or highest, to 1, or lowest.
San Diego’s District Accountability System
also held stakeholders in public education
accountable to each other for improving student
achievement; roles and responsibilities were
defined for each stakeholder group. The second
set of PAR rubrics, (along with definitions of roles and responsibilities
for each stakeholder), were designed to help
external reviewers assess how well three of these
groups – principals, teachers, and school-site
classified support staff – were fulfilling their
responsibilities in schools needing review.
The criterion, or focus, of the rubrics for
assessing stakeholder roles and responsibilities
was:
- Demonstrate accountability for student
achievement.
The rubrics for San Diego’s PAR are organized
as follows:
