The State of California ranks schools based on a formula and then issues an "Academic Performance Index." This "API" is a numerical ranking between 0 and 999. Our Local District Data Analyst applied the State's formula to the Academy of Music's testing data from the last two years (official APIs are issued only entire to high school campus' including all magnets). The Academy of Music had an API equivilent of 734 for 2007 and this year marked a 14 point rise to 748, a significant gain! Contratulations Academy students and teachers!!!
