On Tuesday, September 15th, a rally was held at Rancho during which this year’s API score of 829 was revealed and celebrated.  Rancho’s API score has steadily increased over the last several years and we’re not done yet!      

As defined by the California Department of Education, the API, or Academic Performance Index, is a single number, ranging from a low of 200 to a high of 1000, that reflects a school’s performance level, based on the results of statewide testing.  Its purpose is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. More information on the API, including how it is calculated, is available at http://www.cde.ca.gov/api.
