Academic Success is Non-negotiable
What is API?• Academic Performance Index or API is a score ranging from a low of 200 to a high
of 1,000 that tells how well your students did on the state standardized test.• The state has set a goal of 800 points for each school. A school's growth is then
compared to how well they are meeting or moving towards that goal.• Your schools API score is calculated for all students in a school as well as
“numerically significant subgroups” at the school (such as by Ethnicity, English Learners, students with disabilities, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students)
• API scores for schools that are of similar makeup are ranked into "deciles," with a rank of “1” being the lowest-performing 10% of schools and ” 10” the highest-performing 10%.
• Schools have two rankings: one a statewide ranking that compares each school with others of its type, and the second a “Similar Schools” ranking that compares ones school with 100 others that have similar student backgrounds and characteristics.
Calculating A Schools API• API gives a scale score of anywhere between 200 and 1,000 with a schools goal being 800.• Then, the students scores are divide the five performance bands: Advanced, Proficient, Basic,
Below Basic, and Far Below Basic.• Then, weights are applied to the percent of students with scores in each performance band
(least weight for the lowest bands). These are added to give a value for the subject. • Then, each subject area and test is given a weight within the index. The weight vary by grade
level.
• Therefore a school’s base API scores varies school by school, depending on number of students in the various grade levels and the number of students tested.
• Then, these scores are added together to get one score for your school which is then your API.
What if you do not meet API?• If a school doesn't meet its API target, it's put on a list of low-performing
schools• It is then eligible to receive grants and special assistance to help to
improve schools scores.• If a school API repeatedly does not meet target scores that your school
may by subjected to state sanctions such as in the School Turn Around Model where school districts have to choose between four different routes including closing the school, letting go of at least half its staff, and/or extending the school day.
• The most important is that the API is one of the main factors in deciding your schools AYP which determines whether your school is put in Program Improvement

Monitoring Progress: Daily: EDI, TAPPLE, Complete Sentences, SUTW/6 Traits
Monthly or Bi-monthly:•DIBELS for intensive and Strategic Students•Pearson assessments given; and then data given to principal•Principal Meetings
Trimesterly:•Summative Tests,•DIBELS for Benchmark students
•All identified EL students will receive 30 min. ELD per day
•ELL will be grouped within their grade level by English proficiency level – determined by CELDT
•All teachers will use Pearson Language Central ELD curriculum
•Assessments will be given at the end of every unit as built into the curriculum.
2009 Accountability Progress Report
What You Should Know…
• Our API was 724• We decreased from 740 to 724, which equals
a 16 point loss• Our target goal was 745. Which means we fell
21 points short of our goal.
Where was our school when compared to other in California?
• We scored a 3 “State Wide Rank” which means we were in the bottom 30% in the state of California when are API was compared to other schools
• We scored a 5 “Similar Schools Rank” which means are school was in the bottom 50% when compared to schools with a similar makeup to ours
Subgroups• In terms of subgroups we did not meet any of our targets.• We had been making sufficient progress up until this year and had
managed to free ourselves in “Safe Harbor”
Why the downward shift?
• We had a number of changes the previous school year including adopting a new math, science, and ELD curriculum
• We had a major change in-staff, with change of 6 out of 32 teachers
