The State Rank is determined by a school's API Score in
comparison to all other schools in California.
(1 is the worst, 10 is the best). An equal number of schools occupy each rank. * This rank comes from the 2011 California Academic Performance Index (API) Base report.
The API Score is a number between 200 and 1000 that reflects a
school's or school district's performance on statewide student assessments administered
in 2011.
Alternative Schools receive APIs but do not receive ranks
Parent Education is the average of all responses where "1" represents "Not a high school graduate" and "5" represents "Graduate school."
Ratings are based on the California Department of Education's 2011 Base Academic Performance Index (API). The school information was last updated 05-May-2011.
