LAUSD test scores, but still below average

Los Angeles Unified School District students continued to improve on a key California standards test, although their scores still lag behind statewide averages, according to results released Wednesday. Connie Llanos in the Daily News.

Steady gains also were found for minority, low-income and disabled students who in previous years had failed to show gains districtwide, according to the newly released Academic Performance Index scores.

Several San Fernando Valley schools topped the LAUSD's list of high achievement, and many others have also showed significant test-score improvements from previous years.
