The API scale is
200-1000. Only scores for 2nd through 8th grade
students who were in the district the prior year are included in the
calculation.
Statewide rankings
are in deciles with 10 being the highest and 1 the lowest. Each decile
contains 10% of all schools.
Schools scoring
800 or more are not assigned a growth target, but are expected to maintain
an API at or above 800.
