Thesemeasure students’ progress as well as the effectiveness of the instructional program, and are directly tied to the state’s content standards. Teamsof teachers work to analyze and revise district-wide benchmark assessments to ensure compliance with state content standards. Benchmarkassessments are administered to all grade levels at least three times a year in preparation for statewide STAR assessments in the spring.Academic Performance IndexThe Academic Performance Index (API) is a score on a scale of 200 to1,000 that annually measures the academic performance and progressof individual schools in California. The state has set 800 as the APIscore that schools should strive to meet.Statewide Rank: <strong>School</strong>s receiving an API Base score are ranked inten categories of equal size (deciles) from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest),according to type of school (elementary, middle, or high school).Similar <strong>School</strong>s Rank: <strong>School</strong>s also receive a ranking that comparesthat school to 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics.Each set of 100 schools is ranked by API score from 1 (lowest) to 10(highest) to indicate how well the school performed compared to similarschools.No Child Left BehindNo Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law enacted in January 2002that reauthorized the <strong>Elementary</strong> and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).It mandates that all students (including students who are economicallydisadvantaged, are from racial or ethnic minority groups, havedisabilities, or have limited English proficiency) in all grades meet thestate academic achievement standards for Mathematics and English/Language Arts by 2014. <strong>School</strong>s must demonstrate “Adequate YearlyProgress” (AYP) toward achieving that goal.The Federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meetthe following Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements:• Participation rate on the state’s standards-basedassessments in English/Language Arts (ELA) andMathematics.• Percent proficient on the state’s standards-basedassessments in ELA and Mathematics.• API as an additional indicator.A “Yes” in the AYP chart means the school or district was at orabove the 2008 targets for the 95% participation rate or percentproficient. “No” means the school or district was below the 95%participation rate or percent proficient.Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)<strong>School</strong>DistrictMade AYP Overall Yes NoMet AYP CriteriaEnglish -LanguageArtsAPI <strong>School</strong> Results05-06 06-07 07-08Statewide Rank 8 9 8Similar <strong>School</strong>s Rank 6 9 5All StudentsMathematicsEnglish -LanguageArtsMathematicsParticipation Rate Yes Yes Yes YesPercent Proficient Yes Yes No NoAPI <strong>School</strong> Results Yes YesGraduation Rate N/A N/A2008 API GrowthScoreActual Growth 26 -10 26 868Socioeconomically DisadvantagedActual Growth 33 -23 45 842AsianActual Growth 47 -6 37 920Hispanic or LatinoActual Growth 48 -4 21 803CaucasianActual Growth 22 -12 11 867English LearnersActual Growth 46 -11 48 859Federal Intervention ProgramAfter two consecutive years of failure of a particular subgroup to meet AYPgoals, Title I schools become eligible for Title I Program Improvement (PI).<strong>School</strong>s can be categorized as PI for a maximum of five years, however, aschool may exit from this status after two consecutive years of successin the affected subgroup(s). There are several possible consequences forschools that do not meet the AYP standards including: curriculum changes,providing technical assistance and coaching for staff, additional tutoring andinterventions for students, and transporting students requesting transfers toother schools within the district.Federal Intervention Programs<strong>School</strong> DistrictProgram Improvement (PI) Status Not in PI Not in PIFirst Year in PI - -Year in PI (2008-09) - -# of <strong>School</strong>s Currently in PI - 7% of <strong>School</strong>s Identified for PI - 43.75%C. <strong>Fred</strong> <strong>Schroeder</strong> <strong>Elementary</strong> <strong>School</strong> -4-Published in January 2009
