The California Department of Education announced Tuesday that Alvin S. Hatch Elementary School in Half Moon Bay failed to make "adequate yearly progress" for a second year, according to the County Times. Hatch was the only school added to the list in San Mateo County this year.

That means for those two years, too few students were proficient in math and English or on state standardized tests, or the school simply didn’t test the required 95 percent of students.
                                               
Statewide, 1,772 schools are on this list. This year, 320 schools were added to the list of schools in "program improvement," while 121 got off the list by posting two consecutive years of adequate progress.

The article describes a progressive set of sanctions that schools face if they continue be on the "program improvement list".

UPDATE:  Cabrillo Unified School District is one of ten local education agencies that have put into Program Improvement this year [California Dept. of Education release].
