S.E.A. schools are good schools for teenagers at-risk. These schools help students get their high school credits. Unfortunately, not all S.EA.'s are the same and some are better than others. This depends on who is in charge of the school; that person could be the office manager, lead teacher or a staff in charge of student behavior. Also, a lot depends on the student's attitude to learn. Some students are attending a S.E.A. because the student is on probation and he/she do not have a choice. Some of those students are not interesting in learning and only want to have free time using his/he electronics or the computer. Still, S.E.A's are good schools and a lot depends on the student willingness to learn.

I, attended SEA and graduated. Well it can be kind of chaotic but only for a short time thats when theres new students. SEA is a great school Teachers work with you the staff actually cares for they will even offer to pick you up so your not absent, and if your willing to learn you will learn.

I attended S.E.A-Highland park for about a year... I decided to change school because it's prefect school for students who want to get searched every morning who don't mind switching teachers almost every week. There's a lot of chaos the school is just simply unorganized. Now I go to a school were I actually learn stuff at... I do not recommend this school for anyone that actually wants to get some education.

I worked there for many years. There is much chaos and little accountability for both the students and the staff. I felt that they were doing an injustice to the students.

Posted January 12, 2006

I have substituted at 9 of the sites and have been very impressed with the commitment of the staff to provide the best possible learning environment for these 'at-risk' teens. The curriculum is solid and the rotation of the students to the 3 stations is a great and effective concept. I recommend the experience to any part-time teachers.

1.school needs to greatly improve student and teacher safety. 2.Students do not follow rules and the school does not get involve. 3.The school sites are self monitored and therefor only teachers know about most of the problems. 4. The school constantly change or move teachers throughout the sites because of A-teacher safety B-Teachers do not hold credentials. C-understaff (greatly)

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
