California Schools' Academic Performance Index (API) scores are ranked separately within school type: Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. For each of the three categories, schools' API scores are first sorted from lowest to highest statewide and then divided into ten equal groups (or deciles) ranked from lowest (one) to highest (ten). This first process produces the statewide ranks. A second process produces the similar schools ranks.The API reports include a similar schools rank. This information shows where a school ranks academically on a scale of 1 to 10, compared with 100 other schools with similar demographic characteristics. California public schools serve students with many different backgrounds and needs. As a result, schools face different educational challenges. The similar schools ranks allow Manuel Esqueda Elementary School to look at their academic performance compared to other schools with some of the same opportunities and challenges.
