State rankings give 28 percent of public schools two highest marks
Number of campuses, districts earning highest ratings increases
August 02, 2006
Almost twice as many Texas school districts received the state's highest accountability ratings this year as in 2005, according to the Texas Education Agency. The annual ratings — exemplary, recognized, academically acceptable and academically unacceptable — are given to campuses and districts based on student performance on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills and graduation and dropout rates. Results released Tuesday were preliminary; campuses and school districts can appeal the ratings.
The Eanes and Lago Vista school districts received the state's second-highest rating this year, recognized.
Austin, which was rated acceptable overall, had 29 high-performing campuses — including Harris and Sims elementary schools, two campuses previously among the district's lowest performers.
The number of exemplary schools in Austin increased from four to six; the number of recognized campuses increased from 17 to 23. Out of 1,227 districts statewide, 28 percent were rated exemplary or recognized this year, compared with less than 15 percent last year. Just 1.5 percent, or 19 districts — typically extremely small, rural or wealthy — received the highest rating. Last year, 11 districts were rated exemplary.
Central Texas districts earned overall recognized or acceptable ratings. Only Austin and Manor, which was also rated acceptable, had campuses that were rated unacceptable. Six Austin campuses received an unacceptable rating: Crockett, Johnston and Reagan high schools and Dobie, Pearce and Webb middle schools. Five schools were rated unacceptable last year.
Reactions in other area districts to the ratings included jubilation and disappointment. Five elementary and both middle schools in Eanes were rated exemplary.
But despite having three exemplary schools, the Lake Travis school district lost its overall recognized rating, falling to acceptable, as a result of low math scores on the TAKS by students from low-income families. Lake Travis officials said they are working to improve math performance for all students, not just those who failed the TAKS.
"Our goal is to be exemplary. We realize that until we have recognized and then exemplary status, we have not met our goal as a district," said Diane Frost, Lake Travis' assistant superintendent for administrative services. Timmerman Elementary School in Pflugerville was rated exemplary and eight campuses there received recognized ratings. All three Lago Vista campuses were recognized, as were two elementary schools in Del Valle.
In the 38,000-student Round Rock district, 28 of its 40 campuses were ranked exemplary or recognized, up from 23 last year. Sixteen of the Leander district's 23 schools got the top two ratings, up from 11 last year. In Georgetown, eight of its 14 schools were rated as recognized, and one campus was exemplary.
