TEA releases 2016 accountability ratings

Date Posted: 8/19/2016 | Author: Monty Exter
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) released preliminary state accountability ratings this week. Per TEA, the ratings reveal that approximately 94 percent of school districts and charters across Texas have achieved the rating of Met Standard. Districts, charter organizations, and the individual campuses associated with either receive one of three ratings under the state's accountability system: Met Standard, Met Alternative Standard, or Improvement Required. The 2016 ratings are based on a system that uses a range of indicators to provide greater detail about the performance of a district or charter organization and individual campuses throughout the state. The performance index framework includes four areas:
- Student Achievement – Provides a snapshot of performance across all subjects
- Student Progress – Measures year-to-year student progress by subject and student group
- Closing Performance Gaps – Emphasizes the academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students and the lowest performing racial/ethnic student groups
- Postsecondary Readiness – 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
