East County API Tests Scores Soar
| East County API Tests Scores Soar Despite ongoing budget cuts, the elimination of school programs and increased class sizes, California's schools have managed to raise their Academic Performance Index (API) scores again for the eighth year in a row.
East County's API scores rose with the rest of the state this year. Knightsen and Brentwood districts showed the highest gains at 19 and 31 points.
