District Rating
LISD TEA Accountability Rating = Academically Acceptable
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) designates campus ratings for all schools and districts in the state. To determine ratings, the 2007 accountability rating system for Texas public schools and districts used four basic indicators:
- Spring 2007 performance on the Texas Assessment of
Knowledge and Skills (TAKS)
- Spring 2007 performance on the State-Developed
Alternative Assessment II (SDAA II), a test for special education students
- The Completion Rate I for the class of 2006
- The 2005-06 Annual Dropout Rate for grades 7 and 8
Using these criteria, the TEA designated a status of Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable for LISD and its campuses.
A district or campus must meet the criteria for every applicable measure to be rated Exemplary, Recognized, or Academically Acceptable. Each subgroup (African American, Hispanic, white, economically disadvantaged, special education and limited-English speakers) must also meet the criteria. If the criteria for a rating are not met by any subgroup for every measure, then the next lower rating is assigned.
