Testing At James Lick

In all California’s schools, all students have to take the Star test. The STAR test score will stay in the students’ record, and that the student can not retake it. The score helps decide what classes students need for the next year. The scores tell how schools are moving forward and if teachers are doing good teaching.
James Lick remains below state averages in a variety of areas. The state API (Academic Performance Index) goal is 800, while in 2007 James Lick only attained 632. The 2004 API score of the entire school was 587. Academically, it is widely considered below other schools in the area such as Mt. Pleasant and Independence High School.
