Abstract	This research project surveyed 80% of the K-5 classroom teachers (over 5,500) and every principal at 257 elementary schools in California serving large percentages of low-income, minority, and English Learner students. Specifically, 98% percent of the schools in the sample qualified for Title I funding. The goal was to identify which specific school practices are most strongly associated with higher levels of student achievement, as measured by the school's Academic Performance Index (API). In California, elementary school API scores and rankings are based upon student test scores on the year-end California Standards Tests (CSTs), which measure how well students in the school are mastering California's 2nd to 5th grade academic content standards primarily in English language arts (ELA) and math. Appened are: (1) Curricula Questions from Teacher Survey; (2) Descriptive Statistics of Reported Language Arts Curriculum Usage Frequency by High Intensity Usage Category; (3) Regressions of 2005 Growth API on Domain 1 Composite Variables with Curriculum Interactions; (4) Significant Composite Variables in Curriculum Open Court/Practice Interaction Analysis; and (5) Regressions of 2005 Growth API on Domain 1 Composite Variables. (Contains 2 figures and 7 endnotes.) (Author).
