Educational Resources
Overview
Several educational resources exist on campus or for home use for our Deer Canyon students. We hope you take advantage of some of these opportunities.
California Department of Education
The CDE web site can be found at http://www.cde.ca.gov/and has much useful information. API (Academic Performance Index) can be found here as well as a valuable resource for parents and students entitled “Test Released Questions” comprised of former questions actually appearing on the STAR assessment. This is a great way to practice the content standards and the format in preparation for state testing in the spring.
