High School District Achieves Historic API Result
Academic Performance Index scores came out for California schools Wednesday. The Acalanes Union High School district has something to celebrate.
In the announcement from district superintendent John Nickerson, he says “never has a California high school district had an API above 900.” The Acalanes Union High School district’s composite score is 903.
API scores are based on testing completed last spring. The tests focus on STAR testing of English (called language arts), math, history and science in addition to the high school exit exam.
“Such high achievement and continuous improvement is a reflection of our community's deep commitment to quality education, but also the ongoing work to refine instructional and assessment practices, and targeted resources to better meet the needs of all students.”
Below are the scores for the individual schools:

Great news!.. however I was saddened to see Burton Valley Elementary dropped to 9/10. If you look at the stats for 2nd and 3rd grade it doesn't look good. http://www.greatschools.org/modperl/achievement/ca/440#CSTResults
