Arts Education Performance Indicators

The Arts Education Performance Indicators (AEPI) Report tracks LA County school districts’ progress in meeting the critical success factors of sound arts education infrastructure: a board-adopted arts education policy and plan, a district-level arts coordinator, and use of general budget funds to support arts education.

The most recent report, released in 2008, shows that arts education for K-12 in Los Angeles County has improved significantly for the first time in more than a generation. Overall, there has been tremendous growth across the region toward building an infrastructure to support sequential K-12 arts education in the 81 school districts in the County. In almost every case the percentage of districts meeting each indicator has nearly doubled since the last report in 2005.

What’s next

The next AEPI report is scheduled to be released in 2011.
