About Us Hollywood Park Elementary is located in a residential neighborhood several blocks south of Sacramento City College near William Land Park. Our diverse student population prepares our students to live in a multicultural society. Our student population is relatively stable at all grade levels. We take pride in providing a well-rounded program for the whole child. Hollywood Park has received district recognition as an “Achieving School” for making a 21.6 percentile point gain in Reading and Math combined. We have also earned “School-on-the-Move” recognition for our work on district vital signs consisting of student attendance, reading, math, API growth, parent, and student surveys. We proudly display our “Achieving” school red banners and “School-on-the-Move” flags. The Governor's Academic Performance Index (API) growth indicated that we not only met our target, but exceeded it by 67 points. Our school ranked sixth highest in the district in API growth. Hollywood Park offers a strong academic program. The core curriculum includes the Open Court Reading Program and Saxon Mathematics. We provide a Character Education Program supported by our district Positive Youth Office. Our Character Education Program supports the development of social skills through teaching of globally accepted values: respect, responsibility, caring, citizenship, trustworthiness, and fairness. Our school, home, and community are working together to build citizens of character. We have a conflict management program and student council to provide opportunities for student leadership. We provide Smart Kids, an after-school reading tutorial and staff operated after-school tutorials to meet student needs. We have an active PTA and board which provide enrichment opportunities to our students through assemblies and other community events. Our PTA goals include technology, campus beautification, arts education, and a business partnership. Hollywood Park staff has ongoing staff development in the district core curriculum, character education, and conflict resolution. Out staff participates in a two-day inservice prior to the start of school. Staff receive training, participate in grade level planning, and address school wide goals and programs. Our staff utilizes a unique process known as the Assessment Team Meeting (ATM) in which principal, support staff, and teachers meet each trimester and work collaboratively to analyze student data to drive instruction, creative problem solving, create safety nets for potential at-risk students, and enhance student learning. |
