Dear Parents,
Texas provides annual
academic accountability ratings to its public school districts, charters and schools. The ratings are based on performance on state standardized tests; graduation rates; and college, career, and military readiness outcomes. The ratings examine student achievement, school progress, and whether districts and campuses are closing achievement gaps among various student groups. To learn more, visit
TXschools.gov. Alternatively, the following
video provides a quick overview of the system.
The
Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), formerly known as the
Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS), pull together a wide range of information annually on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas. The reports, available back to the 2003–04 school year, provide extensive information on staff, programs, and demographics for each school and district. Additional products that provide performance data are the
School Report Cards and the Snapshot:
School District Profiles.
When districts or schools struggle with performance, the state may order the implementation of
interventions.
