Academic Performance Index

API Ranks - Three-Year Comparison

This table disp= lays the school’s statewide and similar schools API ranks. These ranks= are published when the Base API is released each March. The statewide API r= ank ranges from 1 to 10. A statewide rank of 1 means that the school has an= API score in the lowest 10 percent of all schools in the state, while a statewide rank of 10 means that the school has an API score in the high= est 10 percent of all schools in the state. The similar schools API rank reflects how a school compares to 100 statistically matched “simi= lar schools.” A similar schools rank of 1 means that the school’= ;s academic performance is comparable to the lowest performing 10 schools = of the 100 similar schools, while a similar schools rank of 10 means that = the school’s academic performance is better than at least 90 of the 1= 00 similar schools.

Admission Requirements for California Public Universities

University of California

Admission requirements for the University of California (U= C) follow guidelines set forth in the Master Plan, which requires that the= top one-eighth of the state's high school graduates, as well as those trans= fer students who have successfully completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the UC. These requirements are designed to en= sure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work. For general admissions requirements please visit the = University of California Web site.

California State University

Admission requirements for the California State University (CSU) use three factors to determine eligibility. They are specific high school courses; grades in specified courses and test scores; and gradua= tion from high school. Some campuses have higher standards for particular ma= jors or students who live outside the local campus area. Because of the numb= er of students who apply, a few campuses have higher standards (supplement= ary admission criteria) for all applicants. Most CSU campuses utilize local admission guarantee policies for students who graduate or transfer from= high schools and colleges that are historically served by a CSU campus in th= at region. For general admissions requirements please visit the California State University= Web site.

Completion of High School Graduation Requirements

Students in California public schools must pass both the English-language arts and mathematics portions of the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) to receive a high school diploma. For = students who began the 2007-08 school year in the 12th grade, as evidenced by th= at school year’s October CBEDS enrollment, this table displays by student group the percent who met all state and local graduation requirements for grade 12 completion, including having passed both port= ions of the CAHSEE or received a local waiver or state exemption.
