520 $a Suggestions for future research include a longitudinal study that measures the actual time spent by high school leaders in preparing reports, as well as the cost of these reporting processes and whether there is an actual benefit to their preparation.
520 $a The purpose of the study was to examine accountability reporting practices of public high schools in California in light of recent measures mandated by California and implemented by the California Department of Education (CDE), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Williams v. California (Williams) litigation settlement. Two research questions were developed to guide the study: (1) Do high school leaders value the accreditation process? (2) Do high school leaders believe that the reporting requirements of the CDE, WASC, and Williams provide the data needed to facilitate school improvement?
520 $a A qualitative, information-rich case study of urban schools and the school leaders responsible for reporting these measures was developed. The focus was on four high schools located in two school districts, selected on the basis of differing achievement levels and accreditation terms at each school.
520 $a Analysis of the data revealed that, when schools and their leaders followed the ongoing improvement strategy mandated by the WASC commission, the schools created a benchmark to create and implement reform. When a school did not adopt the benchmarks set forth by the WASC commission, no benchmarks for internal improvement were evident. Also, when school leaders understood how to report and digest the CDE, WASC or Williams litigation settlement reporting procedures and outcomes, the schools had a benchmark in place for improvement. Conversely, when school leaders did not utilize these reporting procedures and results, they lacked basic information upon which to reform and improve their schools.
520 $a Several findings emerged from the study. First, when high schools adhered to specific reporting processes, benchmarks for reform were set with success, especially concerning the internal accreditation process. Second, school leaders reported that strong leadership on the part of the principal was essential for school reporting success. Third, school leaders reported that there are too many reporting requirements and agreed that those requirements should be consolidated.
