X. AccountabilityAcademic Performance Index
The Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic performance and progress of schools in
California. API scores range from 200 to 1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can befound at the APIWeb page.
API Ranks Three-Year Comparison
This table displays the schools statewide and similar schools API ranks. These ranks are published when the Base API isreleased each March. The statewide API rank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has anAPI score in the lowest 10 percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an
API score in the highest 10 percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a schoolcompares to 100 statistically matched similar schools. A similar schools rank of 1 means that the schools academic
performance is comparable to the lowest performing 10 schools of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of
10 means that the schools academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools.

All teachers at River Oak Charter School have frequent opportunities for meaningful professional development.Teachers may attend seminars presented by the Mendocino County Office of Education or the Sonoma County Office
of Education (SCOE), such as Starting Out Right and Response to Intervention workshops. Several River OakCharter School teachers have attended the California Charter Schools Association Conference. When a teacher attendsa conference or seminar, it is regular practice to have a time reserved at faculty meetings where ideas and innovations
can be shared with the faculty. Two days a year are dedicated to staff development.
