View our recent state accountability test scores
In
accordance with the California Public Schools Accountability Act, the
California Department of Education has implemented standardized tests
to ensure compliance with curriculum guidelines and measure academic
progress in California public schools.
California Progress Reporting (APR)
takes into account a school’s state Academic Performance Index (API) in
addition to federal measures of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and
Program Involvement (PI). Together, these reports help ensure
compliance with state and federal guidelines.
Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) measures
achievement on the California Achievement test, given each year to
students in grades 2-11. These tests assess whether a school is meeting
state educational goals and measures progress from year to year.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a statewide accountability system mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which requires each state to ensure that all schools and districts make Adequate Yearly Progress
