Student Performance
Standardized
Testing and Reporting Program
The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program consists of
several key components, including the California Standards Tests (CSTs); the
California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance
Assessment (CAPA). The CSTs show how well students are doing in relation to the
state content standards. The CSTs include English-language arts (ELA) and
mathematics in grades two through eleven; science in grades five, eight, and
nine through eleven; and history-social science in grades eight, and ten
through eleven. The CAPA includes ELA, mathematics, and science in grades two
through eleven, and for science for grades five, eight, and ten. The CAPA is
given to those students with significant cognitive disabilities whose
disabilities prevent them from taking either the CSTs with accommodations or
modifications or the CMA with accommodations. The CMA includes ELA and
mathematics for grades three through eight and science in grade five and is an
alternate assessment that is based on modifiedachievement
standards. The CMA is designed to assess those students whose disabilities
preclude them from achieving grade-level proficiency on an assessment of the
California content standards with or without accommodations. Student scores are
reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding the STAR Program
results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students
not tested, can be found on the CDE Standardized
Testing and Reporting (STAR) Results Web site. Program information
regarding the STAR Program can be found in the Explaining 2008
STAR Program Summary Results to the Public guide. Note: Scores are not
shown when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the
number of students in this category is too small for statistical accuracy or to
protect student privacy. In no case shall any group score be reported that
would deliberately or inadvertently make public the score or performance of any
individual student.

California
High School Exit Examination Results
The
California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) is primarily used as a
graduation requirement. However, the grade ten results of this exam are also
used to establish the percentages of students at three proficiency levels (not
proficient, proficient, or advanced) in ELA and mathematics in order to compute
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) designations as required by the federal NCLB Act
of 2001. Detailed information regarding CAHSEE results can be found at the CDE California High School Exit Examination
(CAHSEE) Web site. Note: Scores are not shown when the number of students
tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category
is too small for statistical accuracy, or to protect student privacy. In no
case shall any group score be reported that would deliberately or inadvertently
make public the score or performance of any individual student.

Accountability
Academic
Performance Index
The
Academic Performance Index (API) is an annual measure of the academic
performance and progress of schools in California. API scores range from 200 to
1,000, with a statewide target of 800. Detailed information about the API can
be found on the CDE Academic
Performance Index (API) Web page.
Academic
Performance Index Ranks – Three-Year Comparison
This
table displays the school’s statewide and similar
schools API ranks. The statewide API rank ranges from one to ten. A statewide
rank of one means that the school has an API score in the lowest ten percent of
all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of ten means that the school
has an API score in the highest ten percent of all schools in the state. The
similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically
matched “similar schools.â€
A similar schools rank of one means that the school’s
academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing ten schools of the
100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of ten means that the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90
of the 100 similar schools.

means this is either an
LEA or an Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school. Schools
participating in the ASAM do not currently receive growth, target
information, or statewide or similar schools rankings on this report in
recognition of their markedly different educational missions and populations
served. ASAM schools are covered under the Alternative Accountability system
as required by Education Code Section 52052 and not the API accountability
system. However, API information is needed to comply with the federal No
Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. Growth, target and rank information are not
applicable to LEAs.
|

"C"
|
means this is a
special education school. Statewide and similar schools ranks are not
applicable to special education schools.

" * "
|
means this API is
calculated for a small school or a small LEA, defined as having between 11
and 99 valid STAR Program test scores included in the API. 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.

Adequate
Yearly Progress
The
federal NCLB Act requires that all schools and districts meet the following
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria:
Participation rate on the state’s
standards-based assessments in ELA and mathematics
Percent proficient on
the state’s standards-based assessments in ELA and
mathematics
API as an additional
indicator
Graduation rate (for
secondary schools)
Detailed
information about AYP, including participation rates and percent proficient
results by student group, can be found on the CDE Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Web page.

entering PI, schools and districts advance to the next level of intervention
with each additional year that they do not make AYP. Detailed information about
PI identification can be found on the CDE Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Web
page.

School Completion and Postsecondary Preparation
Admission
Requirements for California Public Universities
University
of California
Admission
requirements for the University of California (UC) follow guidelines set forth
in the Master Plan, which requires that the top one-eighth of the state's high
school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully
completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These
requirements are designed to ensure that all eligible students are adequately
prepared for University-level work. For general admissions requirements please
visit the General
Admissions Information Web page (Outside Source).
California
State University
Admission
requirements for the California State University (CSU) use three factors to
determine eligibility. They are specific high school courses; grades in
specified courses and test scores; and graduation from high school. Some
campuses have higher standards for particular majors or students who live
outside the local campus area. Because of the number of students who apply, a
few campuses have higher standards (supplementary admission criteria) for all
applicants. Most CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for
students who graduate or transfer from high schools and colleges that are
historically served by a CSU campus in that region. For general admissions
requirements please visit the Undergraduate
Admission & Requirements Web page (Outside Source).
Dropout
Rate and Graduation Rate
This
table displays the school’s one-year dropout and
