Los Altos School District students continue to perform extremely well as measured by the 2012 Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) test results.  Ninety-three percent of all students in grades 2 through 8 scored at the proficient or advanced range in both English Language Arts and Math.  This is a sustained increase in each content area over the past five years.  Our students continue to excel academically.  We are particularly proud of our students’ performance on the writing test:  97% of all students in Grade 4 scored proficient or advanced and 99% of all students in Grade 7 scored proficient or advanced.  District, school and grade level results can be found at the California Department of Education website.  AYP and API reports will be released in October.   LASD District Staff will share a more detailed analysis with the LASD Board of Trustees at the September 10 board meeting.
