How do I use the API Low Performance School Database to find the current API of a specific school?
• Click on API by County • Select a County and click on the “Submit” button. • On the next screen, select the Base Report for the most recent year for which API scores are available. After selecting the Base Report year, click on the “Submit” button. • The resulting screen lists Districts and Schools located within each District in alphabetical order. Scroll down through this list until you find the District and the School whose API Statewide rank you want. Note: only an API Statewide Rank – NOT the Similar Schools Rank nor the Growth Targets – determines whether a school is a low-performing school.
