The API components for high schools are different from the API components for the middle and elementary schools. High School API components base 80% of the score on student performance in the Oklahoma School Testing Program (EOI test in English II and Algebra I), with 10% of the score based on school completion (dropout, graduation, and attendance rates), and 10% of the score based on academic excellence (ACT performance, advanced placement, college remediation)

Elementary and Middle school;s API components base 90% of the score on the Oklahoma School Testing Program (3rd, 5th and 8th grade student performance in reading and math) with 10% of the score based on school completion (attendance rates).

OK Core Curriculum Tests (OCCT) is used to test students in grades 5, 8 & 11. These tests are standards based, which means they measure how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oklahoma. The goal is that 100% of students meet or exceed grade-level standards on the test.
