2006-2007 SARC Report

Public schools throughout California are required to provide information to the community in the form of an annual School Accountability Report Card (SARC). These report cards provide a variety of data about a school’s student achievement, environment, resources, and demographics.
Updated SARC’s for the 2006-2007 school year (published in 2007-2008) for John Muir Middle School are available here for viewing or printing. They are in pdf format.
