"N/A"	means a number is not applicable or not available due to missing data.
"N/R"	means required enrollment data are not reported.
" * "	means this API is calculated for a small school, defined as having between 11 and 99 Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) test scores included in the API (valid scores). APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and therefore should be carefully interpreted. Similar schools ranks are not calculated for small schools.
"A"	means the school scored at or above the statewide performance target of 800 in 2003.
"I"	means the school has some invalid data and CDE cannot calculate a valid similar schools rank for this school.
