API Rises Again to an Impressive 881!

By Brett Killeen

Congratulations to the students and staff at Torrey Pines High School for their efforts this past spring on the California Standards Tests, upon which the Academic Performance Index (API) is based. Our schoolwide API increased from 871 to 881, up an impressive 10 points. Torrey Pines High School continues to be a top-performing school in the county with this score. Additional highlights include stunning subgroup growth in the following areas:

Asian subgroup = +6 points
Hispanic/Latino subgroup = +59 points
White subgroup = +4 points
Socioeconomically Disadvantaged subgroup = +51 points
English Learners subgroup = +104 points
Students with Disabilities subgroup = +65 points

I know of no other school in the county with this type of subgroup growth performance. Congratulations to all!
