California Dept of Education (CDE) releases revised 2003-04 Academic Performance Index (API) Growth Reports
January 26, 2005


On January 20, 2005, the California Department of Education (CDE) released revised 2003-04 Academic Performance Index (API) Growth Reports for all districts and schools in the state. The revised reports (dated January 13, 2005) are considered final 2003-04 API Growth Reports.

The revised 2003-04 API Growth Report for San Diego City Schools indicates that:
  • The district's 2003-04 API Growth score is 713, up 16 points from a 2003 API Base of 697.
  • The Growth APIs of every numerically-significant subgroup increased: African American up 16, American Indian up 6, Asian up 20, Filipino up 14, Latino up 19, Pacific Islander up 24, White up 11, and socioeconomically disadvantaged up 21.
  • Two schools (Central Elementary School and Morse High School) that originally did not meet schoolwide and subgroup targets on the 2003-04 Growth Report released on October 27, 2004 now meet both schoolwide and subgroup targets.
  • Two schools (Lindbergh/Schweitzer and Walker Elementary Schools) that originally met both schoolwide and subgroup targets on the 2003-04 API Growth Report released on October 27, 2004 no longer meet schoolwide and subgroup targets.
  • One school (Darnall E-Campus Charter School) that did not receive a 2003-04 API Growth Report on October 27, 2004 due to incomplete data now meets both schoolwide and subgroup targets according to the report released on January 20, 2005.
  • The number/percent of schools meeting schoolwide and subgroup targets is unchanged (87 schools/51 percent). One fewer elementary school and one additional high school met schoolwide and subgroup targets, according to the revised API Growth Report.
  • The number/percent of schools meeting schoolwide targets has increased from 115 schools/68 percent to 120 schools/70 percent - 79 schools/69 percent of elementary schools (up from 77 schools/69 percent), 17 schools/81 percent of middle/junior high schools (up from 15 schools/71 percent), 8 schools/53 percent of high schools (unchanged), and 16 schools/80 percent of charter/contract schools (up from 15 schools/79 percent) met schoolwide API targets.
