It is a magnet school that serves 2780 students in grades 9-12. Magnet schools are public schools that offer a specialized curriculum or educational philosophy, often with a specific focus or theme. Magnet schools promote student diversity because they are open to students outside the normal school district boundaries and often attract high caliber students through competitive programs. Abraham Lincoln Senior High School did not make AYP in 2009. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of California in terms of student performance and other accountability measures.* A school's Academic Performance Index (API) is a scale that ranges from 200 to 1000 and is calculated from the school's performance in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. The state has set 800 as the API target for all schools to meet. Abraham Lincoln Senior High School had an API growth score of 587 in 2009. California uses the Academic Performance Index (API) to measure annual school performance and year-to-year improvement. Abraham Lincoln Senior High School's 2009 base score was 609 and the school did not meet its 2008 school-wide growth target. In 2008, Abraham Lincoln Senior High School had 23 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The California average is 21 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Abraham Lincoln Senior High School Student Diversity Students by Ethnicity*(2008) Hispanic 81 % Asian 17 % Black < 1 % White < 1 % Filipino < 1 % Multiple or No Response < 1 % Pacific Islander < 1 % American Indian/Alaskan Native < 1 % Student Economic Level Students Participating in Free or Reduced-Price Lunch This School 76 % State Average 51 % Student Subgroups English Language Learners This School 37 % State Average 25 % Student Completion Annual Dropout Rate for Grades 9-12 This School 7 % State Average 6 % http://www.education.com/schoolfinde...n-senior-high/ Someone has to be lying about the drop out rates: Two Chicano activist alumni claim it has been unchanged at this school at almost 50% for forty years, yet this statement claims 7% Both Moreno Valley and Lincoln have five star ratings according to this source, and solicited commentary posted about both schools is glowing. Something stinks. Also: Quote: Abraham Lincoln Senior High School in Los Angeles, California (CA) City-data.com school rating (using weighted 2006 test average as compared to other schools in California) from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) is 18. http://www.city-data.com/school/abra...r-high-ca.html |

Enlistee Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 316 Default Lincoln high Drop out rate 11% http://www.schools-data.com/schools/...s-Angeles.html Article states California has a 24% dropout rate, focus of article is in Bay area http://thesfkfiles.blogspot.com/2008...pout-rate.html An LA times piece which has a couple of student views by Johnson Xue (his own writing) concerning Lincoln High School: Excerpts: Quote: clubs in the school are more for like the asian students not the latino.... that is a problem...... more clubs not just an asian club... The small problems are: too many students are into period 6 p.e in a sport where all they do is just come to school to be in p.e .... a great example of this are the football players... 90% of all the members in the football team all they live for is football, they dont care about period 1-5, only period 6 p.e ... same goes for other students in a sport. 2nd small problem is: in nearly all the regular classes every1 DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.... only if they're in an honor class than individuals care a lil but in ap classes they care more... so basically students a large majority of them are in regular classes where its not hard not intense so NO NEED TO STUDY, because the teachers dont force them to study only if they're in honor class (still rarely) and ap classes (study a lot). SO THE BIGGEST OUT OF ALL THESE SMALL PROBLEMS ARE: GANGS, LARGE CLASSES, AND MORE ACTIVITIES WEAR ALL STUDENTS FEEL WELCOME, AND CHANGING HS REQUIREMENTS, AND PUT AN END TO STUDENTS WHO DAYDREAM NOTHING BUT PERIOD 6 P.E WHERE THEY ARE IN A SPORT/TEAM, AND HAVE MORE AP CLASSES AND ADULT SCHOOL CLASSES THAT ARE 1X OR 2X A WEEK. http://projects.latimes.com/schools/...n-senior-high/ |

ilbegone ilbegone is offline Enlistee Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 316 Default An excerpt from an essay or letter by Professor Ramon Munoz (A man obsessed with informing the reader that there is a tilde over the “n” in his last name). Full of the usual rambling Latino Activist rants and containing much electronic jibberish that makes the read difficult: Quote: ...According to the recent Census report, 30 percent of Latino youth drop out of high school -- compared to 8 percent of white students and 12 percent of blacks. In some inner-city school districts, the drop out rates for Latinos are even higher. And the majority of Latino students who are fortunate to graduate from high school are not eligible for college admission because they have been academically ill equipped... Ramon Munoz Academic Counselor School of Social Sciences University of California, Irvine Well, Mr Munoz (with the tilde over the "n"), The white devil doesn't run the educational system anymore. |

ilbegone ilbegone is offline Enlistee Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 316 Default One last one, then I'm done for now. Is this formula for determining drop out rate just another shell game for presenting numbers to be crunched? (these numbers are for 1986) Excerpts: Quote: Using New Definition of Dropout The state Department of Education previously had labeled a dropout as a student who leaves school and does not ask for a transcript to be sent to another public or private school within 45 days. Under the new definition, administrators found that, for the 1986-87 school year, 6.9% of students in San Diego dropped out in grades 9 through 12. They then extrapolated the rate over four years and came up with the 26%. Using the same definition for ethnic groups, the four-year district dropout rate for Latinos is estimated at 39.2%; for Indochinese, 29.5%; for blacks, 27.9%; for whites, 22.6%; for Asians, 21.6%, and for Filipinos, 12.4%. The Indochinese category includes Vietnamese, Khmer (Cambodian), Lao and Hmong ethnic students. http://articles.latimes.com/1988-04-...chool-students |

kjl kjl is online now Enlistee Join Date: Jun 2009 Posts: 262 Default Thanks for posting this Ibegone, what they cry and cry again really amazes me. I went to grade school in San Pedro in the same years (early 60's). No one beat anyone because of their ethnicity. The ethnic make up of our school was about 30% White, 20% Black, 25% Hispanic, and the remaining 25% were a mix of Philippine, Chinese, Japanese and others. The only one I know of who became a Doctor was a Black student, he didn't seem to feel held back. Everyone spoke English, and not Spanglish, there wasn't any problem with speaking English properly. Everyone considered themselves an American and was proud to be one. There was some racism, but it was among the Blacks and Hispanics. Many kept to their own group and didn't associate with the others. But that wasn't true of everyone. My first best friend was a Black girl named Joyce. She went to the Catholic school in town, so we only hung out while out of school. Maybe San Pedro was different than other parts of LA, especially East LA where the racial mix wasn't so much of different ethnicity's. They keep trying to force 'diversity' on us, yet places like East LA are anything but diverse. They've made it into a toilet and no one besides themselves wants to be around it. Then they complain that they're not being respected while at the same time dropping out of school and having babies before their bodies have even fully matured. Those that have tried hard to get out of the barrio and succeeded need to speak up and stop the continued 'pride' crap of a culture that is bringing them down. What so many have done to themselves won't stop because they won't face the fact that their culture condones the destruction of itself. Many come from a failed country and want to continue that same path here. So many don't respect an education or investing in it, only if it's free. And then they want to study about their own failed culture, but change the facts to please themselves. They blame this country for making them victims, yet don't do anything to change the culture that put them where they are. It's so much easier to cry victim. What's unfortunate is that the Americans who are Hispanic have such a hard time when they try to disassociate with that failed barrio culture. The liberal left has made being a victim, a noble cause. |
