The San Ramon Valley Unified School District encompasses the communities of Alamo, Danville, Diablo, Blackhawk, and San Ramon as well as a small portion of the cities of Walnut Creek and Pleasanton. It is comprised of 29 schools serving more than 21,000 students in Kindergarten through Grade 12.
District students are exposed to a broad based curriculum with a strong focus on the essential skills including reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. Physical education, health, foreign language, technology, and visual and performing arts are also included. Students graduating from district high schools are required to have earned 240 designated credits. Opportunities include a rigorous academic program, outstanding technical and vocational curricula, and numerous elective courses. All students have the option to participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities.
The SRVUSD consistently ranks among the top 10% of California school districts. Over 94% of the graduating seniors attend college or university, and district students are accepted into the University of California and the California State University systems at rates exceeding the state averages. Furthermore, the district has been recognized for its excellence through such honors as the coveted State Department of Education's Distinguished Schools Award (twenty-two such awards in the past ten years), and through recognition by the U.S. Department of Education of five schools as Blue Ribbon Schools (three elementary and two middle schools).
The district has a wide range of state and federally-mandated special education programs. The district's Full Inclusion program is a model in the state. All district K-12 schools have resource specialist programs and site staff includes at least one full time resource teacher and a part-time psychologist, speech therapist, and health educator. The district has implemented K-12 Standards and Benchmarks which define the essential knowledge and skills that students should acquire in every subject area. A similar process is in place to develop standards and benchmarks in mathematics, social studies and foreign language.
In March 1999, the Board of Education adopted the second Strategic Plan for the school district which allows the district "to continually recreate itself, to determine its own destiny, and decide how it will best use all its unique resources for the benefit of students." Its overriding theme is "to prepare all students to flourish as responsible, ethical, and productive citizens in an ever-changing world.".
The District enjoys a highly trained, talented, and dedicated staff and an involved, committed, and highly educated parent community. |
