What is a "SLO"?

SLO stands for Schoolwide Learner Outcome. Five Keys' SLOs were developed during the 2011-12 school year, after the school's initial WASC visit, to outline our goals for our student body. SLOs are how we measure success! The SLOs were updated in 2019 to align with our five keys. The new SLOs apply to CTE and Academic programs, with specific indicators for each program. NOTE: CTE is developing their own set of metrics and some of the high school metrics may added to or modified.
