The new 2010 Growth Academic Performance Index (API) report is now available for viewing here on YourMarinHome.com.  You may also download a PDF file of the API report for your convenience.

The Marin IJ provided a good analysis of the report by school district in an September 13th article, Despite soaring state test scores, schools dogged by federal standards as well as the September 15th article, Academic Performance Index Results: Marks Rise in Marin.

As reported in the IJ, “Overall, Marin schools continued to perform well on the API, a number from 200 to 1,000 that reflects a school’s results on several statewide tests. At least 46 Marin schools reported API scores of 800 or more – the state standard for academic achievement – including every school in the Bolinas-Stinson, Dixie and Tamalpais districts. As many as 25 schools reported scores of 900 or higher, including every school in the Kentfield, Larkspur, Mill Valley, Reed, Ross and Ross Valley districts.”

Past school API scores are also available for viewing here on YourMarinHome.com and you may download a Marin County School Guide.
