Moraga is in Contra Costa County, beyond the Oakland hills, east of San Francisco. Our students consistently score advanced and proficient on the California standardized STAR test, and continue to master their grade level subject area content standards. Our teachers, staff and administrators are committed to delivering the best instructional program that challenges and supports all learners. The Moraga School District values the involvement of Moraga parents and families, our PTAs, the Moraga Education Foundation, and local businesses. Together we deliver to our students a first class education addressing the academic, social and emotional needs of our students to succeed in a diverse global world."
The 2010 Academic Performance Index (API) has been released by the California Department of Education. Although one means of assessment could never be the sole determinant of a school district's success, the new data is an affirmation of the Acalanes Union High School District's commitment to continuous progress. The AUHSD API rose two points to a composite 899 performance level.
While there are several areas for growth on which the District will continue to seek improvement, the results are exceptionally gratifying. Considering the many challenges faced during the 2009-2010 school year, the 2010 API results are impressive.
The Acalanes Union High School District remains the highest performing high school district in California.
