HHS Compared to LEA and State
Schools that do not have a valid 2006 Base API will not have any growth or target information.
A blue line
Statewide Performance Target for Schools = API of 800 or Above
               
In order to meet federal requirements of No Child Left Behind, a 2007 Growth API is posted even if a school or LEA had no 2006 Base API or if a school had significant population changes from 2006 to 2007. However, the presentation of growth targets and actual growth would not be appropriate and, therefore, are omitted.
"N/A" means a number is not applicable or not available due to missing data.
"*" means this API is calculated for a small school, defined as having between 11 and 99 valid Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program test scores included in the API. The API is asterisked if the school was small either in 2006 or 2007. APIs based on small numbers of students are less reliable and therefore should be carefully interpreted.
"A" means the school or subgroups scored at or above the statewide performance target of 800 in 2006.
"B" means the school did not have a valid 2006 Base API  and will not have any growth or target information.
"C" means the school had significant demographic changes and will not have any growth or target information.
"D" means this is either an LEA, an Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school, or a special education school. Target information is not applicable to LEAs, ASAM schools, or special education schools.
"E" indicates this school was an ASAM school in the 2006 Base API Report and has no target information even though the school is no longer an ASAM school.
Targets Met - In the "Met Growth Target" columns, the growth targets reflect state accountability requirements and do not match the federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements. The AYP requirement for the API is a 2007 Growth API of 590 or a one-point increase from 2006  Base API to 2007 Growth API for a school or LEA.
