API stands for Academic Performance Index, a measure used by the state of California to assess school performance. The 2004 Base API number,
which ranges from 200 to 1000, was calculated using scores from the 2003-2004 California Standards Test (CST), the California
Achievement Test, sixth edition (CAT/6) and the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). The API goal set by the state for all schools is 800. If a school's API number is higher,
that means students scored better on the tests. Source: California Department of Education, 2003-2004.
