| In order to meet federal
requirements of No Child Left Behind, a 2009 Growth API is
posted even if a school or LEA had no 2008 Base API or if a
school had significant population changes from 2008 to 2009.
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 or LEA, 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 or LEA
was small in either 2008 or 2009. APIs based on small numbers of
students are less reliable and therefore should be carefully
interpreted. |
| "A" |
means the school scored at or above the
statewide performance target of 800 in 2008. |
| "B" |
means the school did not have a valid
2008 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, an
Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school, or a
special education school. Target information is not applicable
to LEAs, ASAM schools, or special education schools. |
| "E" |
indicates this was an ASAM school in the
2008 Base API Report and has no target information even though
the school is no longer an ASAM school. |
| 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 2009 Growth API of 620, or a one-point increase from the 2008
Base API to 2009 Growth API for a school or LEA. |
