In order to meet federal requirements of No Child Left Behind, a 2008 Growth API
is posted even if a school or LEA had no 2007 Base API or if a school had significant
population changes from 2007 to 2008.
However, the presentation of actual growth would not be appropriate and, therefore,
is omitted.
|
|
|
|
"N/A" |
means a number is not applicable or not available due to missing data. |
|
"*" |
means this API is calculated for a small school, defined as having between 11 and
99 valid Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program test scores included
in the API. The API is asterisked if the school was small either in 2007 or 2008.
APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and therefore should be
carefully interpreted.
|
|
"B" |
means the school did not have a valid 2007 Base API and will not have any
growth or target information.
|
|
"C" |
means the school had significant demographic changes and will not have any growth
or target information.
|
|
|
|
The AYP requirement for the API is a 2008 Growth API of 620, or a one-point increase
from the 2007 Base API to the 2008 Growth API for a school or LEA.
