Under the Public Schools Accountability
Act of 1999 (PSAA), California developed an evaluation system in which each school and district was given a “score”, based on standardized tests, ranging from 200 to 1000. California has
determined and API of 800 to be the
statewide goal for all schools.

California Modified Assessment (CMA)
CMA was piloted in grades 3-5 in the 2008 STAR testing. Results were not included in the 2008 API/AYP because performance levels for the CMA were not adopted until November 2008.
The CMA was given again to grades 3-5 in 2009 and was also integrated into the middle school level (grades 6-8 in ELA and grades 6-7 in Math).
