How Is Your School Doing?

"If you can't measure it, you can't improve it" (Lord Kelvin). So, how do stakeholders know how well their school is doing? Of course this is a complex question and there are many factors both inside and outside of the school that impact student learning. Academically, often times parents rely on the schools API score that is released once a year. While an interesting metric, the API Score can be more of an indicator of "who the students are" as opposed to "how the school is doing".

Overall in the Point Loma Cluster 70% of students are proficient Math and 56% in English Language Arts (compared to a District average of 56% in English and 50% in Math). While outperforming the District, it will take all of us to help close the achievement gap.

The number of PLHS students proficient in math is 21%? These are third world type results. But congrats to everyone else in Point Loma.
