College & Career Readiness
California uses the College/Career indicator within the California School Dashboard to measure whether the LEA students are prepared for success after graduation based on measures like graduation rate, performance on state tests, and college credit courses. Only graduates can be classified as Prepared or Approaching Prepared. For schools to demonstrate success on this state indicator, high school graduates must meet at least one of the measures in the prepared level.

At CCCS & SAVA, every student engages and participates in high-quality, rigorous, and relevant educational pathways and programs. Our courses are created in collaboration with leading business and industry partners and local community colleges – promoting creativity, innovation, leadership, community service and life-long learning. Career Technical Education (CTE) programs are developed in response to student interest surveys with emphasis on the potential for career opportunities within focused industries. Delivered in a classroom setting, our courses provide students cutting-edge technology and group interactions with hands-on experiences.
Many of our CTE classes are now articulated with local community colleges, giving students the opportunity to earn college credit for completing these courses with a course grade of B or higher. Upon completion of these courses, in addition to earning college credits, students are given priority enrolment opportunities by community colleges.
