Home Charter touts WASC accreditation, digital curriculum pilot and whole‑child supports
Summary
Monterey County Home Charter School reported no red dashboard indicators, a digital curriculum pilot, WASC accreditation through 2031 and targeted supports for English learners and students with disabilities; leaders emphasized high mobility among students and continued focus on math outcomes.
The Monterey County Home Charter School presented its annual report to the county board, describing student supports, accreditation and a pilot of digital curriculum intended to improve academic outcomes and college‑and‑career readiness.
The presenter said Home Charter achieved a favorable WASC accreditation outcome (six years with a mid‑year report) and reported no red indicators on the 2025 school dashboard. The school noted high mobility among its population (roughly 40% new students this year) and described efforts to improve digital skills and typing stamina in elementary grades to align with device‑based state testing.
Leadership highlighted investments in whole‑child supports — mental health, food access, and individualized learning plans — and pointed to programmatic elements such as expanded biliteracy supports and a focus on math outcomes in coming years. The presenter said the school has been piloting a digital curriculum and plans to continue the pilot to improve adult user adoption and implementation fidelity.
Trustees asked about tracking post‑graduation outcomes and supported exploring an alumni survey; the presenter said staff would consider follow‑up options to better monitor where students go after leaving the program.
