Abstract	California will be spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a school ranking and reward system under the Public Schools Accountability Act (PSAA). The PSAA aims to make schools responsible for their students' academic achievement and progress. PSAA includes a method to measure how well a school is doing, called the Academic Performance Index (API), a program to help schools that are considered "underperforming," and rewards for schools judged to be doing a good job or improving significantly. This parent guide provides impartial, factual answers to frequently asked questions from parents about the PSAA: What is the API? What is a good API? What do API scores and the ranking system tell about schools? How will high performing schools be rewarded? (DFR)
