College-Ready Academy High School #5

principal's message

I am very excited that parents entrust College-Ready Academy High

School #5 (CRAHS #5) with their children’s preparation for college. In

our first year of operation, we have created a culture driven by student

success and the possibility that all of our students will be college-ready

upon high school graduation. Our cohort of 9th grade students will

become our first graduating class at CRAHS #5 in 2011.

To further demonstrate our first year success, preliminary state testing

results from May indicated that our students have shown fantastic growth.

The state of California ranks schools on a scale of 200 to 800, and

according to this scale, our students have shown growth of almost 100

points! The students and teachers need to be commended for this

achievement. It is my hope that we can add another 100 points or more

to our scores during the 2008-2009 school year.
