means a number is not applicable or not available due to missing data.
"N/R"
means required enrollment data are not reported.
" * "
means this API is calculated for a small school, defined as having between
11 and 99 Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) test scores included in the
API (valid scores). 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.
"A"
means the school scored at or above the statewide performance target of
800 in 2003.
"B"
means this is an Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school, or it
is a school district. 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 school districts.
"I"
means the school has some invalid data, and CDE cannot calculate a valid
similar schools rank for this school.
