Each spring California's public school students take part in a statewide testing program (STAR). [Click here to find the latest STAR scores.] Both schools and school districts are given an Academic Performance Index (API) based on those test scores. Under the federal law known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), from 2003 forward the API is also used to evaluate districts for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
The following 2012 Growth API report shows results from tests given in spring 2012. Growth is measured against a "base" API which is calculated each spring from the prior year's tests.

Note:
The number of schools reflects only those that received an API growth target. Schools that did not receive a valid 2011 API Base or had significant demographic changes do not have API Growth or growth target information. Schools that use the Alternative Schools Accountability Model
(ASAM), such as community day, continuation, opportunity, county community, county court, and California Youth Authority, do not have growth targets.

Note: Beginning with the release of the 2010 Base API, API scores are reported for all subgroups with 11 or more students. For previous years, API scores are reported only for subgroups that are numerically significant (i.e. with 100 pupils or 15% of total enrollment with at least 50 pupils with valid test scores). Regardless of whether or not an API score is reported, only subgroups that are numerically significant receive API growth targets.
Al subgroup data are missing if the district reported a potential data error in at least one student subgroup. Socioeconomically Disadvantaged, English Learners, and Students with Disabilities subgroups are missing API data if there was a decrease in the number of students in the group by at least 20 percent from the Base API to the Growth API, or if the district reported a potential data error with one or more of these student groups.
Direct-funded charter schools are considered schools for API purposes and do not receive an API as a district. Therefore, pupils that attend direct-funded charter schools are not included in the table above.
N/R indicates data not reported prior to 2008-09.
The total number of students will not be equal to the sum of the subgroup student numbers since there is overlap in the Student Subgroups and the Other Subgroups.
