Americ an 4% Multi Hispanic Ethnic /Latino Summer District 10% 20% Of the 597 students that participated in summer school, 191 or 32%, qualify for free or reduced lunch. During the school year, Sammamish most closely represents this demographic with 39% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Each high school sends a disproportionate amount of students that qualify for f/r lunch to summer school, when compared to the total students enrolled in a summer course. For example, while Bellevue High School has an 11% f/r lunch rate during the year, the students from Bellevue that attended summer school were comprised of 23% from the f/r demographic. Another example, 58% of the 90 students in attendance from Sammamish High School qualified for f/r lunch. This trend demonstrates a discrepancy in achievement during the school year between students that do not qualify/qualify for free and reduced lunch. It may also demonstrate an inability for students that qualify for f/r lunch to participate in a credit retrieval program during the school year. Another discrepancy with summer school students is evident in looking at the percentage of Hispanic/Latino students that attend summer school versus the district average. This indicates that a higher percentage of Hispanic/Latino students earn lower grades during the school year when compared to other racial groups. Page 3

Approximately 30% of summer school students required one, or more, of the services above. In 2015, there was a counselor and special education teacher on staff to support student needs for the first time.

In addition, the only significant increase in student enrollees from a school came from Newport High School, with an increase of 6% attendance from the prior year. Students qualifying for ELL services significantly decreased, possibly due to the added tuition fee for Pacific Northwest History; while students receiving special education or 504 plans increased from 2014. One possible cause for the overall decrease in student attendance may be attributed to an increase in student success during the school year, or perhaps stronger credit retrieval programs occurring in the Spring prior to summer school. More information should be collected on the reasons why students with disabilities, or students with 504 are an increasing population in summer school, as one possible cause may be (despite increased student success during the school year) these subgroups are not experiencing as high rates of success during the regular school year.

GRADES EARNED Of the 597 Bellevue School District students that participated in Summer school, 882 grades were posted, with 283 students having taken two courses. In 2014, only 244 students took two courses, for an increase in 34 students. The grade distribution is below. These percentages demonstrate slight change from 2014, where 40% of students earned an A, 24% of students earned a B, 15% of students earned a C, 12% of students earned a D, and 5% of students earned an F. Of note, there were 0 students in 2015 that earned a W, indicating a possible correlation between the change in summer school attendance policy and the changes in overall grade trends.
