̶
17
district schools now scoring over 900 on state’s
Academic Index

Student progress in Clovis Unified continued in the
2009-10 school year, resulting in an 11-point gain in
the district’s Academic Performance Index (API) to 866.
Academic performance indicators released by the
California Department of Education revealed an overall
increase in student performance in Clovis Unified. This
year, eight CUSD schools jumped 20 or more points on the
API, with 17 schools now scoring over 900 on the state’s
1,000-point scale.
Meeting
the educational needs of every child in the classroom is
at the heart of the No Child Left Behind Act; and
sharply rising Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) goals are
revealing where U.S. schools are, and are not, meeting
those needs. This year, the vast majority of Clovis
Unified schools again met all district-wide AYP goals,
even as those expectations continue a sharp increase
toward a goal of 100 percent of students achieving at or
above grade level by 2014.
“I am
extremely happy with the results of our students on this
year’s academic assessments,” said Superintendent Dave
Cash, Ed.D. “Our goal is to meet the academic needs of
100 percent of the children in CUSD and the outstanding
growth shown in our 2010 API scores shows that we are
making great progress toward that goal.”
Other
areas of interest in the recent release of student
performance data include:
33
Clovis Unified schools increased their 2010 API over
last year’s results, with 17 elementary schools’
scores exceeding 900 on the 1,000-point scale.
All
intermediate schools in Clovis Unified have API
scores that exceed 800.
9 of
10 Title I schools in Clovis Unified have surpassed
800, with scores ranging from 817– 881.
Clovis Unified high schools again posted the highest
API scores in the San Joaquin Valley of any
comprehensive high schools.
