Student Academic Performance Index (API)

While we acknowledge the value of standardized testing as an indicator of where we stand in the State, we feel there are many things that represent who and what we are as a school which are more meaningful than test scores.

However, we accept the API growth number as an indicator that, by the state’s criteria, we are on the right track.

2004 Growth

We are very proud of our results in the 2004 report on growth in California schools.

The average (API) growth in California schools was 10 points, bringing the average from a total of 683 to 693 points.

Our improvement was double the state average.
Bitney College Prep 2004 Growth API is 782 – almost a hundred points higher than the state average.
