Schools with APIs at or above 800 must maintain a minimum API of 800. • To encourage schools to improve achievement for all students, the state computes APIs and sets improvement targets for the different student subgroups at the school. • The state reports APIs for schools that test a minimum of 85% of eligible students in any subject.   • The results shown here reflect the school's Growth API for the 2007-2008 school year for all students and for each of the major subgroups of students as reported by the state. • The 2007 API Growth is calculated using test score results from spring 2007.
