• Academic Achievement (overall performance on the STAAR test). For the 2018 and 2019 school year, Patton had an overall performance rating scale score of 68% in 2018 and 65% in 2019. • Academic Growth accounted for a small percentage of the students on the campus. Growth was only reflected in students taking English I EOC and English II EOC. In 2018, Patton’s growth was a scale score of 55% and 2019 scale score of 48%. • In 2019, only 8% of the students met one of the criteria for CCMR (Career College and Military Readiness) reflects the percentage of students meeting one of the criteria. This low rating affected Domain 1 Achievement Score as well as the Domain 3 Score. • A graduation rate of 65.1% in 2019 affected both Domain 1 and 3. Phoenix Program Answer
