State of Texas Releases A-F Ratings for Districts
(Carrollton, TX) The Texas Education Agency released the new A-F ratings for school districts today. The Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD received a “B” rating with all campuses reaching the highest rating of “Met Standard.”
The 85th Texas Legislature passed House Bill 22, establishing three domains for measuring the academic performance of districts and campuses: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing Achievement Gaps. Districts will receive a rating of A, B, C, D, or F for overall performance, as well as for performance in each domain, on August 15, 2018. Campuses will receive A–F ratings beginning in August 2019.
While CFBISD is proud of a positive rating from TEA, the District agrees with the Texas Association of School Administrators when it says, “Texas students would be better served by a comprehensive community-based accountability system that looks beyond high-stakes, multiple-choice tests to meaningful assessments that have value for students, parents, and teachers, as well as measures what each community deems important in promoting college and career readiness.”
CFBISD is committed to high achievement for each student and will continue to focus on meeting the individual needs of each student that we serve.
