TEA Releases 2017 Accountability Ratings
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).

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.

EVALUATION REPORT B U R E A U O F P R O G R A M E VALUATION Volume 1, VolumVolume 9, Issue 2, October 2015 Reflective Learning in the Assistant Principal Leadership Program in Preparation for School Improvement, 2014–2015 By Venita Holmes, Dr.P.H. This study explored the extent that the Houston Independent School District’s (HISD) assistant principal leadership training program (AP1/AP2) facilitated reflective learning of the 2014–2015 cohorts. In addition, the evaluation examined the academic achievement of students in schools of AP1/AP2 cohort participants. Leadership training applied the ISLLC framework that focused on creating a shared vision within the community, a culture of student learning, efficient management, and ethics to prepare participants for roles as principals. A total of 79 HISD leaders were identified as AP1 cohort participants and 66 leaders were AP2 cohort participants. Eleven training sessions were provided to strengthen their practice as leaders, increase their instructional knowledge, skills, and strategies; and inform their future feedback with teachers in 24 skill areas. In general, all ISLLC standards were reflected by AP1/AP2 survey respondents in at least one of the training sessions, with data for monitoring and improvement, district curriculum implementation, and mentoring staff/modeling as the three most prevalent skill areas considered as benefits in their reflective learning. Gaps were noted in participants’ reflections of benefits in skill areas related to clean and safe schools, effective presentation skills, team leading and building, and technology. This may be related to these areas being emphasized in principal leadership training rather than AP1/AP2 training.
