Academic Performance IndexSchool-by-school rankings
The Academic Performance Index (API), the cornerstone of the state’s Public Schools Account-ability Act of 1999, is an achievement gauge for California public schools based on standardized test results. The index assigns a score for each campus, ranging from a low of 200 to a high of 1,000, with 800 as the long-term performance target.Though it’s changed over the years, API scores in 2009-2010 were primarily calculated using results
of the state’s Standardized Testing and Report-ing Program (STAR) and from the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE).
This chart refl ects state accountability measures. However, many schools failed to meet federal expectations, known as Adequate Yearly Progress or AYP. For results related to AYP and for API data, go to: http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest.
