By: Manuel R. CortezRodas
This week we will look at the State's Sub-Groups and how their scores
compare amongst the groups, as well as, the State set mark of 800
points. Using the 2012 CA API Data Source: http://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr12/yr12rel96.asp posted on Thursday, October 11th, 2012. Each day this week an analysis of the API results will be presented to the readers in the following scheduled:
- TUESDAY: 2012 API Results by Sub-Group Growth.
- WEDNESDAY: 2012 API Results by Sub-Group Score.
- THURSDAY: 2012 API Results by Sub-Group Standing.

The overall data indicates a continued positive growth among California students and the major Sub-Groups. Only two Sub-Groups (Asian, White) have achieved an API Score above the 800 mark set by the State. California students score 788 showed a growth of +11 points, and is only 12 points below from the State set mark of 800.
