Filipino Success in California Public Schools

On Friday, May 23, 2008, State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) Jack O'Connell released Academic Performance Index (API) scores, which are used as a measure of how well different schools and different groups are doing academically.

Overall, all API scores improved, and Filipinos in particular rose to 813 statewide, which corresponds with the second best score among the ten measured subgroups. The target score is 800 for schools.

It would be interesting to see the enrollment and retention rates of Filipino Americans in postsecondary schools.
