Parent and Guardian Guide to California`s 2012

Dear Lafayette Families,
We have now received the Spring CST scores. Lafayette received 3 reports: API, AYP and PI. This document
explains the three categories. Lafayette received an API of 913 - six points lower than last year, but well above the state
goal of 800. Although our scores were slightly up in Language Arts, the scores were down in Math; thus, we did not
make our AYP goal. Our PI results for the targeted groups are: OW +5 points; Sociodisadvantaged +15; SPED -5; Asian ­
10; English Language Learners -9. Ms. Brown and I will be working closely with teachers to analyze scores and focusing
instruction to support all students. All parents/caregivers should have received a student report.

Parent and Guardian Guide to California's
2012-13 Accountability Progress Reporting System
The primary goal of California's Accountability
Progress Reporting (APR) system is to measure
and report the academic success of California's
nearly 10,000 public schools in over 1,000 local
educational agencies (LEAs). (An LEA is a school
district or a county office of education.) The system
includes three major components:
• The Academic Performance Index (API) Report
• The Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Report
• The Program Improvement (PI) Report
The California Department of Education (CDE)
prepares these reports on each school and LEA.
The reports are available on the CDE APR Web
page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/apr/.
API Report
The API Report is required by the state's Public
Schools Accountability Act (PSAA) of 1999. This
report shows how much a school is improving from
year to year based on its API. A school's API is a
number that ranges from 200 to 1000 and is
calculated from the resuits for each schooi's
student on statewide tests. The state has set 800
as the API target for all schools to meet. Schools
that fall short of 800 are required to meet annual
growth targets until that goal is achieved. API
targets vary for each school.
The annual API growth target for a school is 5
percent of the difference between the school's API
and the statewide performance target of 800 with a
5 point minimum. Schools that meet or exceed an
800 API are expected to maintain that level of
achievement and to continue working to improve
the academic performance of all students.
There are two API reports: (1) the Base API that is
released to schools in the spring and (2) the
Growth API that is released in the fall. These two
reports show results from two different school
yP.iHS.
The Growth API is compared to the prior year Base
API to show how much a school improved from one
year to the next.
Schools must meet API growth targets for the
whole school as well as for all "numerically
significant" student groups in the school (see
explanation on page 2). Each Base API and Growth
API Report includes the schoolwide API and the
APls for each numerically significant student group.
The Growth API Report determines whether
schools met their targets.
If a school meets certain API participation and
growth criteria, it may be eligible to become a
California Distinguished School, National Blue
Ribbon School, or Title I Academic Achievement
Award School. If a school does not meet or exceed
its growth targets and is ranked in the lower part of
the statewide distribution of the Base API, it may be
identified to participate in state intervention
programs. These programs are designed to help
the school improve its academic performance.
AYP Report
The AYP Report is required by the federal
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
This report shows how well schools and school
districts are meeting common standards of
academic performance, as measured by whether
the school or school district makes AYP. Required
AYP targets increase yearly until 2013-14 when all
schools must have 100 percent of their students
performing at or above the proficient level on
statewide tests. By law, all California schools and
LEAs receive annual AYP results.
Each year, schools and LEAs must meet four sets
of requirements to make AYP. The requirements
reflect statewide performance levels and are the
same for all schools and LEAs of the same type
(see table on next page).
Parent and Guardian Guide to the 2012-13 Accountability Progress Reporting System
The requirements include: (1) student participation
rate on statewide tests; (2) percentage of students
scoring at the proficient level or above in English­
language arts and mathematics on statewide tests;
(3) API Growth; and (4) graduation rate (if grade
twelve students are enrolled). Numerically
significant student groups at a school or an LEA
also must meet participation rate and percent
proficient requirements.

Numerically Significant Student
Groups
To be considered numerically significant (large
enough) for the API or AYP, a student group must
include 100 students or 50 students who make up
15 percent or more of the school's total population.
Results of numerically significant groups of
students for the API and AYP are calculated for the
following categories:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Black or African American
American Indian or Alaska Native
Asian
Filipino
Hispanic or Latino
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander

PI Report
The PI Report supplements the AYP Report by
providing information on the PI status of schools
and LEAs. A school or an LEA that receives federal
Title I, Part A, Basic, funds is subject to
identification for PI if it does not make AYP for two
years in a row. A school identified for PI must notify
its parents and guardians about its PI status and
offer certain types of required services during each
year that it is a PI school. A school or an LEA is
eligible to exit PI if it makes AYP for two years in a
row. Information about PI reports and identification
is located on the CDE A YP Web page at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/. Information ~bout
PI required services and/or interventions is located
on the CDE PI Web page at
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ti/programimprov.asp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do API or A YP calculations affect a student's
Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)
Program or California High School Exit Examination
(CAHSEE) score report?
No. API and AYP results are calculated for state,
LEA, and school-level reports only.
How can parents or guardians help to improve a
school's accountability results?
The best way to improve a school's accountability
results is for student achievement on statewide
tests to improve. Parents can help by supporting
their school's efforts in providing classroom
instruction and assessments that are aligned to the
California content standards and by ensuring
students are well-rested and nourished on
statewide testing days.
More Information
To obtain information about state and federal
accountability requirements and the API, AYP, and
PI reports, parents and guardians should contact
their school or school district office during regular
hours. Additional information is available on the
CDE APR Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/apr/.
