    TEA News Releases Online Aug. 15, 2017 TEA releases 2017 accountability ratings AUSTIN – The Texas Education Agency (TEA) today released the 2017 state accountability ratings for more than 1,200 school districts and charters, as well as more than 8,700 campuses statewide. The ratings reveal that approximately 95 percent of school districts and charters across Texas have achieved the rating of Met Standard. In addition, the number of individual campuses achieving a rating of Met Standard or Met Alternative Standard increased again this year, while the number of campuses receiving a rating of Improvement Required continued to decline. Districts, campuses, and charters receive one of three ratings under the accountability system: Met Standard, Met Alternative Standard, or Improvement Required. School district ratings (including charter operators) by category in 2017 are as follows: DISTRICT LEVEL 2017 RATING DISTRICT CHARTER TOTAL PERCENT Met Standard/Alternative 993 153 1,146 95.3% Met Standard 993 126 1,119 93.0% Met Alternative Standard N/A 27 27 2.2% Improvement Required 28 16 44 3.7% Not Rated 2 11 13 1.1% TOTAL 1,023 180 1,203 100.0% The 2017 ratings are based on a system that uses a performance index framework that includes four areas: Index 1 – Student Achievement (which provides a snapshot of performance across all subjects); Index 2 – Student Progress (which measures year-to-year student progress by student group); Index 3 – Closing Performance Gaps (which emphasizes the academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students and the lowest performing racial/ethnic student groups); and Index 4 – Postsecondary Readiness (which emphasizes the importance of earning a high school diploma that provides students with the foundation necessary for success in college, the workforce, job training programs or the military).

  • 153 Campuses Earn All Seven Distinctions in 2015 Accountability Ratings
    Aug. 7, 2015 153 campuses earn all seven distinctions in 2015 accountability ratings AUSTIN – The Texas Education Agency today released the 2015 state accountability ratings for more than 8,600 campuses. The ratings reveal that 86.4 percent of campuses across Texas achieved the rating of Met Standard. Campuses that receive an accountability rating of Met Standard are also eligible for distinction designations. Distinction designations are awarded to campuses based on achievement in performance indicators relative to a group of 40 campuses of similar type, size and student demographics. Distinction designations can be earned by campuses for: Academic Achievement in Reading/English Language Arts; Academic Achievement in Mathematics; Academic Achievement in Science; Academic Achievement in Social Studies; Top 25 Percent: Student Progress; Top 25 Percent: Closing Performance Gaps; and Postsecondary Readiness. In 2015, 4,388 campuses achieved the Met Standard rating and earned some type of distinction designation. However, only 153 high schools, middle schools and junior high schools earned all seven distinction designations. “Earning any type of distinction under the state accountability system is commendable and should be a source of pride in a community,” said Commissioner of Education Michael Williams. “Achieving all seven distinctions reflects extraordinary work taking place on a campus while affirming a strong commitment to students.” Campuses (listed alphabetically by school district or charter) that earned all seven distinctions

    To: Dr. Marla M. Guerra, Superintendent South Texas ISD Board of Directors From: Jeff Hembree, Deputy Superintendent Date: August 17, 2017 RE: 2017 State Accountability Report The Texas Education Agency released the 2017 State Accountability Reports, with the Distinctions, on August 15, 2017. The state accountability system is based upon the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examinations and the complex rating system developed by the state. This is the fifth and last year of this version of the state accountability system. The district and campus reports are on the following pages. South Texas ISD and every campus received the highest accountability rating available, “Met Standard”. The district received the only “Distinction Designation” available at the district level; Post-Secondary Readiness. STISD earned this distinction for the fourth consecutive year, which is every year it has been part of the state accountability system. All six STISD campuses received the maximum number of distinction designations available. We are proud of our students, parents, teachers, and all faculty members. The high level of student performance reflected in these reports demonstrates their hard work while focusing on the life goals of each student. Thank you.
