School Accountability Report Card

Grove

By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC).The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC.
  • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/.
  • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/.
  • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office.

DataQuest

DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest web page at https://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners).

Internet Access

Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library). Access to the Internet at libraries and public locations is generally provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Other use restrictions may include the hours of operation, the length of time that a workstation may be used (depending on availability), the types of software programs available on a workstation, and the ability to print documents.

About Our School

The Grove School is a public Montessori charter school that serves adolescents by creating an learning environment specifically designed to meet their developmental needs and tendencies. It has dedicated teaching faculty and administrative staff who work hard to create a meaningful learning community where adolescents are trusted and respected. The Grove School is one of the older charter schools in California with this being its 19th year in existance.  The school continues to improve its methods, policies and systems to better serve its students in their development.

Grove continues to grow and improve to meet its mission as a Montessori middle and high school. It has achieved awards such as the California Distinguished School Award in 2013 and been recognized as a top high school in California by US News and World Report and Newsweek. Grove students continued their strong performance on California state assessments by achieving the highest test scores of all of the middle and high schools in the Redlands Unified School District for the California Assessment of School Performance and Progress (CAASPP). In 2015, Grove completed its selfstudy and review by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Because of Grove's strong performance and clear goal setting it received a six year renew al of its accreditation by WASC.

Grove is proud to be one of the first Montessori public high schools founded in the United States. The overarching goal of Montessori education is to create a more peaceful world through creating meaningful learning environments for children and adolescents, environments that are dynmaic, responsive, challenging and supportive of the different developmental needs of young people at different ages. T he main learning environments for Grove are its working farm and its consistent connections to the outside society. Students actually w ork and manage the farm campus and often connect their work to the actual work happening in the larger society. On the farm campus, students put their hands on history, experience an evocative and romantic view of nature, have the opportunity for scientific exploration and discovery, apply mathematics, and create a vision of a sustainable future. These learning environments are not a way to deliver information or a mandated curriculum, but instead to inspire students to learn and construct themselves through work and experiences to become their best selves within a caring and supportive community. 

Grove's success is a product of the work and commitment by its staff, students, parents, and community members. In the words of Montessori, the next generation is our "hope and promise for the future." Our goal at Grove is to nurture that hope and fulfill that promise for every student who attends The Grove School.
