Our school is on the up and up! Less than 10 years ago we went bankrupt due to a corrupt superintendent. Over the past three years that I have been teaching English here, there are more students passing the California Exit Exam, more students graduating and going to college, and last year, we increased our base API(academic performance index) from 622 to 649, a 27 point increase! The demographic diversity of students is 70% African American, 14% Hispanic American, 11% Asian American and 5% Caucasian and Pacific Islanders; 80% live in poverty and 13% are English learners.
