The Santa Clara
County Office of Education is the over-riding
 authority
for public schools in Santa Clara County. The SCCOE has developed an
extensive site on the educational opportunities in the county. If you are
moving your family into the area and are concerned about schools, start at
the
Choosing a School page.
Be warned, both the SCCOE site and the Choosing a School site are
very detailed and you will spend quite a bit of time there.
Academic Performance Index
California has instituted a state-wide school ranking system. The
Academic Performance Index (API) is mandated by the Public Schools
Accountability Act of 1999. Every California public school will be ranked
based on student performance.
The new index gives communities an objective way to measure a
school's academic success. The API will allow the state to hold schools
accountable for annual improvement and to reward or sanction schools based
on performance.
