The School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) for Garfield Community School outlines strategies to maximize resources and enhance student achievement by aligning with the Redwood City School District LCAP. The plan focuses on three main goals: providing social-emotional support, reducing chronic absenteeism and suspensions; improving English Learner proficiency and reclassification rates; and increasing student performance in ELA and Math, as measured by i-Ready and CAASPP assessments. The overarching vision is to foster an inclusive and supportive environment that addresses academic and social-emotional needs to ensure all students achieve their full potential.

This document outlines the Redwood City School District's Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) goals, presented in March 2026. The plan focuses on three primary areas: enhancing student social-emotional support, reducing chronic absenteeism, and decreasing suspensions (Goal 1); improving English Learner (EL) progress, increasing reclassification rates, and reducing Long Term English Learners (Goal 2); and boosting academic achievement in English Language Arts and Math for all students, especially English Learners (Goal 3). These objectives are pursued through data-driven interventions, targeted instruction, and collaborative strategies to improve student well-being and academic achievement.
