Culver City Schools Shine in Latest API Rankings

The State released its annual list of K-12 school rankings based on student performance on standardized tests.

Every Culver City Unified School District school scored at or above the statewide performance target of 800 in 2012.

In a statement, CCUSD said, "Friday's results are meaningful in that they offer a relatively easy way for parents, teachers and the community to gauge how well their schools stack up in comparison to all schools of their grade level across California, as well as to all statewide schools with similar demographics."

These results were released without much fanfare, because they are based on 2012 testing. The rankings will garner more publicity when they are released in August or September 2013, because those results will be based on tests taken a few months before the results are released.

In the results released Friday, all schools receive two 1-10 rankings - one for "statewide" and one for "similar schools." A 1 ranking signifies that a school falls in the bottom decile; a "10" indicates that a school falls in the top decile.

"B" means this is either an LEA or an Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) school. Schools with an approved ASAM application do not receive statewide or similar schools rankings. Growth, target, and rank information are not applicable to LEAs.
