Our API scores give us the idea that we're on the right path.

The reason for the discrepancy in many of our schools' scores in the two categories is a mystery, and has been an ongoing question.

This year, we will continue to work with students that don't read and don't meet the literacy standards for their grade levels. We will try to create a more structured program for English learners.

Some of our schools didn't meet the AYP criteria because they are large and ethnically more diverse, and they had to cross more thresholds.
