The May 7 story “B-Tech Students on Their Way to College” incorrectly stated that the school has failed to get an Academic Performance Index score for the last several years due to poor participation rates. The school’s API has increased from 311 in 2005 to 596 in 2008, which Principal Victor Diaz said was the second highest API score among continuation schools in Alameda County. Berkeley High School has failed to get an API score for the last several years because of poor participation.  

The article should have said that, since the API score for Berkeley Technology Academy was based on fewer than 100 valid California standardized test (STAR) results in 2007, the alternative school did not receive a ranking among similar schools.
