About Bay Area Technology
-
Bay Area Technology is located in Oakland, CA and is one of 142 schools in Oakland Unified School District. It is a charter school that serves 228 students in grades 6-12.
Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.
Bay Area Technology did not make AYP in 2009. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of California in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Bay Area Technology's test results to learn more about school performance.
A school's Academic Performance Index (API) is a scale that ranges from 200 to 1000 and is calculated from the school's performance in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. The state has set 800 as the API target for all schools to meet.
Bay Area Technology had an API growth score of 658 in 2009. California uses the Academic Performance Index (API) to measure annual school performance and year-to-year improvement. Bay Area Technology's 2009 base score was 635 and the school did meet its 2009 school-wide growth target.
