California Standards Test The California Standards Test (CST) measures how well students have learned a set of academic skills established by the state. State criterion-referenced tests show how well KIPP schools performed in a given year, as compared with state standards and district and state averages. Subjects required by the state by each grade level may vary. When considered collectively, KIPP Bay Area schools outperformed their local school districts in every grade and every subject on the California Standards Test from the 2006-2007 school year.

Its purpose is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools. API Similar Schools Rank The Similar Schools Rank is created by comparing each school’s test scores to 100 schools across the state with similar demographics, as determined by the schools’ parent education level, poverty level, student mobility rate, and ethnicity. All five KIPP Bay Area middle schools earned a 10 out of 10 API Similar Schools Rank for 2008. API Statewide Rank
Schools are ranked in ten categories of equal size, called deciles, from one (lowest) to ten (highest). A school's statewide rank compares that school to other schools of the same type (elementary, middle, or high school) in the entire state. Each decile contains 10 percent of all schools of that type. A school's statewide rank is the decile where that school's API Base falls compared with the Base APIs of the other schools statewide of the same school type. A rank of 10 means that the school performed in the top 10 percent of all schools in the state with a comparable grade range, including schools serving middle and high income students.
