Academic Performance Index (API)

The API is a single number, ranging from a low of 200 to a high of 1000, which reflects a school’s, a school district’s, or a subgroup’s performance level, based on the results of statewide testing. Its purpose is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. The API was established by the PSAA, a landmark state law passed in 1999 that created a new academic accountability system for K-12 public education in California. The API is calculated by converting a student’s performance on statewide assessments (like CAHSEE and CST) across multiple content areas into points on the API scale. These points are then averaged across all students and all tests. The result is the API. An API is calculated for schools, school districts, and for each numerically significant subgroup of students at a school or an LEA.
