| API SCORES |
What is the Academic Performance Index The API measures performance and progress of a school or district based on several factors that contribute to overall educational success. It is a numeric index or score, ranging from 0 to 1500, with 1000 as the 2001-2002 state average. An overall API score, as well as sub scores for individual indicators, are assigned to each school and district in Oklahoma. Statewide targets for performance on reading/language arts and mathematics state tests have been set and will increase incrementally to promote continued improvement of education in our state. Performance targets for additional indicators, including attendance rates and graduation rates, have also been set as goals for schools and districts. |
