The Texas Education Agency released the 2014 Accountability Ratings for school districts last week and I posted the summaries for area districts.
Cross Roads ISD Met Standard as a district and the junior high earned academic distinctions.
“The Texas Education Agency is in the process of initiating a new method of measuring academic achievement by districts across the state. We are very happy to have Met Standard early on in this process,” said Superintendent Leland Hand. “However, due to our resolve as a district, our goals are to exceed state requirements and continue to provide an excellent learning environment for our students.”
Ratings for each campus of the district include:
- High School – Met Standard with no academic distinctions.
- Junior High – Met Standard with three academic distinctions (Mathematics, Student Progress, Closing Performance Gaps).
- Elementary – Met Standard with no academic distinctions.
“Earning a distinction is not easy,” said TEA Commissioner Michael Williams. “Any school earning one or more distinctions should be recognized in its community for the outstanding work taking place on that campus.”
