Accountability Progress Reporting (APR)
State and federal accountability results include state-required reports (Academic Performance Index) and federal-required reports (Adequate Yearly Progress).
Academic Performance Index (API)
California’s accountability system measures the performance and progress of a school or a district based on results of statewide tests at grades two through eleven. A school's API is a composite number representing the results of these tests.

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
Federal accountability requires districts and schools to meet four sets of criteria (also referred to as targets) developed by each state, to meet Adequate Yearly Progress. Federal results are reported in terms of how well schools and districts meet AYP targets. The AYP targets increase until 2013–14, when all schools and districts must have 100 percent of their students performing at the proficient level or above on statewide tests.
