The current environment of high-stakes, multiple accountability systems presents an unprecedented challenge to schools and districts. Under the Public Schools Accountability Act (PSAA), California schools must demonstrate consistent growth and meet their annual student achievement targets on the Academic Performance Index (API). Schools that receive federal funds must also make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) by helping greater numbers of students perform at the highest levels on standardized tests. New stricter state and federal requirements are pushing schools to close the achievement gap and improve language acquisition among English Language learners.

It is a challenging time for schools, yet one that holds promise for the goal of educating all students.
