The California Department of Education released an abbreviated form of results for state-administered tests in high schools taken last year, showing an increase in proficiency rates in English-language arts and math at Rodriguez and Armijo high schools, but a decline in both for Fairfield High School, including a 7 percent drop in English-language arts.

Usually released along with academic performance index numbers, the state only released the Adequate Yearly Progress numbers for the upper grades because of the phase-out of No Child Left Behind, which ended this past year, and the institution of the new Common Core state standards and their California testing component, Smarter Balanced assessments.
