This is the
nineteenth year of the School Accountability Report Card that was
established by Proposition 98, an initiative passed by California voters.
Rafer Johnson Children’s
Center is comprised of three programs serving students from birth through
age 5 who have been identified as having
disabilities ranging from mild to severe.
Based on need, the children may receive the services of the nurse,
adaptive P.E. specialist, occupational therapist, physical therapist
and/or the speech and language pathologist.
The school’s name
was changed April 29, 1973, from Peter
Pan School
to Rafer
Johnson School
and then to Rafer Johnson Children’s Center in
1999. Mr. Johnson was the gold
medalist in the decathlon in the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, Italy. He visits the school during our annual Rafer Johnson Day track meet each spring.
Our school mission
and goals are reflective of the philosophy for Rafer
Johnson Children’s Center. They
are as follows:
Our Mission is to help each
child achieve his/her highest academic, social and vocational potential.
Our Academic Goal is to develop
individualized learning objectives for each pupil to provide
opportunities for maximum academic growth.
Our Social Goal is to develop
those qualities in each student to help them become a socially positive
individual in the community.
Our Vocational Goal is to maximize the
individual skills of each of our students to reach their highest potential.
