There were likely some mixed emotions in Dixon Unified last week with the release of the state’s 2011-12 Accountability Progress Report, which measures student achievement and growth.

While there has certainly been some growth in the district over the last year – both Tremont Elementary School and CA Jacobs Middle School exceeded the state target of 800 on the Academic Performance Index (API) – it is clear there are areas the district needs to work on to improve. Only Tremont and CA Jacobs met all growth targets on the API, and while most of the schools in the district saw some gains in the numeric index, two schools, Anderson Elementary and Maine Prairie High School, experienced significant drops in scores.
