API Score
Each year, the state releases the API scores for all schools in the state. Don Callejon School gained 16 points for the 2010-2011 school year, and we now have an API score of 858! This marks the fifth consecutive year of double-digit growth in API for our school!
This outstanding accomplishment is a testament to the hard work of our teachers, staff and students, and the strong support of parents and the Don Callejon community. We are confident that our school will continue to grow in the coming years.
California’s Public Schools Accountability Act of 1999 established the Academic Performance Index (API). The API measures the performance and growth of schools and districts based on the test scores of students in grades 2 through 12. The API is a number on a scale of 200 to 1,000 that indicates how well students in a school or district performed on the previous spring’s tests. The statewide API performance target for all schools is 800. Though we have exceeded this expectation, we still hope to continue to improve our results.
