San Benito County Superintendent of Schools Mike Sanchez had his first opportunity this week to detail an annual survey on the performance of some of the area’s lowest-ranked schools.
He reported to county supervisors that all three of San Benito’s Decile 3 or below institutions had met all of the required state standards.
The academic measures under the system indicate the need to ensure such schools are provided adequate resources.
The three schools at the Decile 3 or below level in San Benito County are Calaveras and R.O. Hardin in the Hollister School District, and San Juan School in the Aromas-San Juan School District.
The required report each year is a result statewide of the Williams Settlement Legislation enacted in 2004 that required county superintendents to inspect schools performing at lower levels.
The decile scores are based on Academic Performance Index testing conducted at schools statewide each year.
Each school is given a 1-10 decile mark according to the grade scores.
“We find no deficiency in the areas of textbooks and facilities,” Sanchez told four of five supervisors in attendance Tuesday, with Jaime De La Cruz absent.
