Dublin High School Similar Schools Ranking Improves to 10 out of 10

July 13, 2012
by

Annually the California Department of Education (CDE) publishes data, based on standardized test results, that helps identify areas of improvement and to compare schools. The CDE’s 2011-12 Accountability Progress Reporting (APR) for Dublin High School was recently updated to include a comparison of Dublin High with all schools in California, and schools deemed similar (based on socio-economic, ethnic and other factors – details at the bottom of this article). The comparison includes both publicly funded school districts and charter schools.

Based on Dublin High School’s most recent API of 878, Dublin High retained its 10 out of 10 rating vs. all schools in California, and improved it’s rating vs. similar schools to 10 out of 10 (from 9 out of 10 last year). Dublin High as a whole and all statistically significant sub-groups were at or above the statewide performance target. The API results for the 2011-12 school year will be released by the CDE later this summer. The full APR is available here.

Each year, the CDE selects 100 schools considered similar to Dublin High School for comparison purposes. This is the most recent list of similar schools:
