State Accountability Programs
Each year, the state accountability system assigns ratings to every campus and district in the Texas public education system. One of four rating labels is assigned to each campus and to the district -ranging from lowest to highest-Academically Unacceptable, Academically Acceptable, Recognized, and Exemplary.
To determine the rating label, several indicators are evaluated, including TAKS performance, as well as longitudinal completion rates and annual dropout rates. Campuses and districts receive ratings that reflect their performance or by demonstrating sufficient improvement toward the standard. In addition to evaluating the performance for all students as a whole, the performance of individual student groups are also evaluated. The student groups include African American, Hispanic, and White students as well as the group of students identified as economically disadvantaged. All of the evaluated groups must meet the criteria for a given rating category in order to earn that label.
In 2009, the accountability ratings were based on the following TAKS performance standards.
