Written by Beatrice Karnes
The California Department of Education has released its Base API scores for individual schools, which will be used to track growth next fall when test results from the 2012-13 school year are released.
All Martinez Unified School District schools scored above the benchmark of 800 which means growth rates are not imposed on the schools.
