The 2011 academic performance index (API) scores have been officially re-leased and Capuchino High School posted a 39 point gain and its highest score ever, 750. Each department developed strategies to improve the scores, but the secret ingredient was a lot of hard work by all students and staff at Capuchino.
We are especially proud of the gains made by many of our sub-groups: Latino students +39, white students +36, socioeconomically disadvantaged +48, and English learners + 11. Although it's not a department in the traditional sense, the 9th grade team strategies also seemed to pay off as the 9th graders scored particularly well, increasing our 9th grade scores in Physics, Algebra, and English.
In addition our success on the API, Capuchino was also named to the Washington Post's list of top high schools for the first time in its history. All of these things point to a positive future for Capuchino High School as we continue to prepare our students for college and career success.
Mr. Montgomery
