How Does Your Kid's Public School Rate? Here are Some Numbers for You

When STAR test results were released last week, many of us checked them out to see how students in our neighborhood schools were doing.

We can also go online and check out API scores. API scores are announced twice a year and involve a calculation using student scores on the STAR tests to rate  individual school performance.

Beyond STAR and API scores, there is other data that can offer a picture of each Walnut Creek public K-12 school: information on student demographics, discipline, teacher experience. This information is all public, from the state Department of Education, but to get all these individual pieces of information for each school, you would need to hunt through several databases. 

Walnut Creek Patch offers this statistical portrait of each public school in one place. Just click on the links below to view each school's profile.

And, let us know if you think there is other information we can provide for each school. We can always expand each listing.
