S215G120194 0194 Introduction: The Houston Independent School District (HISD) is the largest public school system in Texas and the seventh-largest in the nation, covering 301 square miles within the Houston area. With 279 schools, HISD serves a highly ethnically-, culturally-, linguistically-, and economically-diverse population of 203,066 students. The district’s students, regardless of sub-population, are less likely to graduate from high school or graduate on time. (a) Significance – (i) The extent to which the proposed project is likely to build local capacity to provide, improve, or expand services that address the needs of the target population For the proposed project, Literacy Includes Technology (Project LIT), HISD has identified three high-need, high poverty schools that serve high-need students, where the education gap — as exemplified by low graduation and high dropout rates, low socio-economic status, and high poverty — had a demonstrated need to be closed, as shown in Table 1.

Taylor and Travis Hearn Texas Smart Schools Initiative Table: 2018 TSS Academic Progress Index for 10 Houston Independent School District (ISD) has Houston ISD Campuses 10 notoriously troubled schools (see table). Those schools have been on the Texas Educa- TSS Academic tion Agency’s (TEA’s) list of schools requiring improvement for four consecutive years. A fifth Progress Index year on the list for any of the 10 schools would trigger serious consequences for the district.1 Kashmere High School 0 But is this a case of mistaken identity? The 10- Wheatley High School 1 persistently failing campuses serve a persistent- ly challenged student body.

Texas Smart Schools (TSS) uses data from the Woodson School 2 state’s accountability system to measure each Blackshear Elementary School 32 school’s contribution to student academic growth. But instead of focusing on levels of per- Dogan Elementary School 6 formance—as TEA did when assigning these Highland Heights Elementary 17 schools the state’s lowest accountability rating— TSS focuses on changes in performance from Mading Elementary School 27 one year to the next.

Tia Locke-Simmons Director, Curriculum, Advanced Academics
MEMORANDUM December 17, 2019 TO: Tia Locke-Simmons Director, Curriculum, Advanced Academics FROM: Carla Stevens Assistant Superintendent, Research and Accountability SUBJECT: GIFTED AND TALENTED PROGRAM EVALUATION: 2018–2019 According to Section 29.123 of the Texas Education Code, the Texas State Plan for the Education of Gifted/Talented Students (G/T) forms the basis of program accountability for state- mandated services for G/T students. In the Houston Independent School District, G/T students were served through one of two program designs: Board-approved Vanguard Magnet or Gifted and Talented Neighborhood. Attached is the evaluation report summarizing the effectiveness of the Vanguard Program during the 2018–2019 school year. The state plan outlines three different performance measures that may be viewed as a continuum: In Compliance, Recommended, and Exemplary. There are five components that are addressed in the plan: Student Assessment, Program Design, Curriculum and Instruction, Professional Development, and Family-Community Involvement. For the 2018–2019 school year, HISD developed 12 G/T Standards that aligned with the Texas State Plan. The evaluation report centered on measuring the effectiveness of the Gifted and Talented Program based on the state’s five components. The Gifted and Talented program supports the district’s strategic direction by having an effective teacher in every classroom and instruction that is personalized to meet the learning needs for each child. Key findings include: In 2018–2019, a total of 33,068 students attending 262 elementary, middle, and high schools participated in the district's Gifted and Talented Program, reflecting 17.1 percent of the district K–12 population, a 0.2 percentage-point increase from 16.9 percent in 2017– 2018. -
Futures Academy 2014–2015
MEMORANDUM September 21, 2015 TO: Board Members FROM: Terry B. Grier, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: FUTURES ACADEMY 2014–2015 CONTACT: Carla Stevens, 713-556-6700 The Futures Academy Program was established in 2012 to create opportunities for students to graduate from high school having earned an associate’s degree or a Level 1 nationally- recognized certification in a high-demand career field. The Futures Academy program gives students the opportunity to fulfill high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning industry certifications, college credits, and an Associate of Applied Science degree by August following their senior year. A sample of students from the Futures Academy 2014–2015 program had significantly higher academic outcomes compared to the average district academic outcomes. Key findings include: The Futures Academy recruitment plan and efforts resulted in a 33 percent increase in enrollment, from 365 students in the 2013–2014 school year to 487 students in the 2014–2015 school year. A higher percentage of Futures Academy students met the College Board readiness standard compared to the district, 28 percent versus 21 percent, respectively. A total of 99 percent of the graduating class qualified for associate degrees or industry certificates in 2014–2015 (52 associate degrees, 29 industry certificates). High-risk students in Futures Academy (defined in this report as economically disadvantaged, at-risk, and non-gifted/talented) had significantly higher PSAT/NMSQT scores and grade point averages than non-Futures Academy high-risk students in HISD. Should you have any further questions, please contact Carla Stevens in Research and Accountability at 713-556-6700. -
