2001 San Diego Academic Performance Index Report

The Academic Performance Index (API) is one of a three-part education reform package passed by state legislators in 1999.

Each school receives a three-digit score ranging from 200-1,000 based on results of a statewide test taken by students in spring 2001.

The state target was 800. A school that does not meet the target is given an improvement target that is 5 percent of the difference between the school's scores and 800.

Schools that meet the improvement target next year are eligible for financial rewards from the state.

Schools that consistently fail to meet the improvement target are subject to sanctions, including removal of the principal, closure of the school and the transferring of teaching staff.

The ranking is part of a new law called the Public Schools Accountability Act and aims to hold schools accountable for improvement in student performance over time.

Currently, the only variable being used to determine a school's ranking in the index are the results from the Stanford Achievement Test-Ninth Edition.

In the future the index will also include attendance rates, graduations rates and results from an upcoming high school exit exam.

How the Ranks are Calculated

1. The API scale is 200-1,000. Only scores for students in the district the prior school year are included in the calculation.
2. Rankings are in deciles with 10 being the highest and 1 the lowest. Each decile contains 10% of all schools.

Missing Schools: Some schools in the district may not appear on this list because the APIs were not generated. County-day schools, alternative schools, continuation schools, and independent study schools are excluded from this system. Please note that school districts do not necessarily follow city limits.
