In order to meet federal requirements of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA), a 2012 Growth API
is posted even if a school or LEA had no 2011 Base API or if a school had significant
population changes from 2011 to 2012.
However, the presentation of growth targets and actual growth would not be appropriate
and, therefore, are 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 in either 2011 or 2012.
APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and, therefore, should be
carefully interpreted.
|
|
"A" |
means the school or Student Groups scored at or above the statewide performance target
of 800 in 2012.
|
|
"B" |
means the school did not have a valid 2011 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.
|
|
"D" |
means this is either an LEA, or a special education school. Target information is not applicable to LEAs or special education schools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Targets Met - In the "Met Growth Target" columns, the growth targets
reflect state accountability requirements and do not match the federal Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements. The AYP requirement for the API is a 2012 Growth
API of 740 or a one-point increase from the 2011 Base API to 2012 Growth API for
a school or LEA.
|
|
Missing
All Student Data – All subgroup data are missing if the LEA informed the CDE of a potential data error in
at least one race or ethnicity category.
|
|
Missing Special Population Student Data – Socioeconomically Disadvantaged and English Learners
student groups with missing API data and a “No” under the
“Met Student Growth Target” column indicates that there was a decrease in the
number of students in the group by at least 20 percent from the 2011 Base API to
the 2012 Growth API, or the LEA reported a potential data error with one or more
these student groups. For that reason API information for that student group is
not reported. LEAs that make changes to their data through the testing
contractor will have updated API reports released in January 2013.
