API scores are based on seven indicators including, Oklahoma School Testing Program, attendance, dropout rates, graduation rates, ACT performance and participation, college remediation rates, Advanced Placement participation. It is important to note that the seven indicators are grouped into three components: Oklahoma School Testing Program, school completion, and academic excellence.
The API components for high schools are different from the API components for the middle and elementary schools. High School API components base 80% of the score on student performance in the Oklahoma School Testing Program (EOI test in English II and Algebra I), with 10% of the score based on school completion (dropout, graduation, and attendance rates), and 10% of the score based on academic excellence (ACT performance, advanced placement, college remediation)
Elementary and Middle schools’ API components base 90% of the score on the Oklahoma School Testing Program (3rd , 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade student performance in reading and math) with 10% of the score based on school completion (attendance rates).
Statewide performance targets for 2008-2009 were 932 in Math and 914 in Reading. Performance targets for 2009-2010 increased to 1074 in Math and 1060 in Reading. The District’s total API increased for the eighth consecutive year and now stands at 1368. An explanation of the contents of the Academic Performance Index is available at http://sde.state.ok.us.
