Statewide excellence

Orange County's middle schools, as a whole, outperform middle schools statewide in most academic measures, student conduct figures and other data used to craft the Register's rankings:

• Local middle schools' median Academic Performance Index score of 831 – an overall gauge of schools' scholastic standing – is 27 points higher than the state average.
• Nearly a quarter of middle schools locally earned a 2010 API similar school score of 10, meaning that when compared with schools with similar demographics, they rank in the 90th percentile academically. Almost three-fourths of local middle schools earned an API similar schools score of 7 or higher.
• The county recorded a truancy rate of 13.7 percent for middle schools in 2010, compared with a statewide rate of 20.1 percent.

Even those not in the top 10 continue to make academic gains. The median API score for local schools in 2010 rose 13 points.
