Academic Performance Index (API)
The Academic Performance Index (API) is a
single number, ranging from a low of 200 to
a high of 1000, which reflects a school’s or
a district’s performance level, based on the
results of statewide testing. Its purpose is
to measure the academic performance and
growth of schools. The goal for all schools
and districts is to achieve an 800 API score.
The API was established by a state law
passed in 1999 that created a new
academic accountability system for K-12
public education in California.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast cancer is the most common cancer
among American women after skin
cancer.
Today, about one in eight women will
develop breast cancer.
A person’s age, genetic factors, personal
health history, and diet all contribute to
breast cancer risk.
Men can get breast cancer.
30 minutes of exercise five days a week
can cut cancer risk by 20%.
There are currently 2.5 million breast
cancer survivors living in the United
States.
