For many years, parents and community members have looked to the state to provide a report card on the academic progress of schools. In years past, many parents have waited anxiously to see what rating their child's school would have (exemplary, recognized, acceptable, unacceptable). This year, though, the state accountability is in flux with the change from the old TAKS test system to the new STAAR system and there will be no new ratings.
Should we count this year as a free pass? Or treat it like a senior skip day and take the year off? No.
In C-FB, we use an independent performance management company to grade us each year on how we are doing academically and financially. This year is no exception.
Out of the 200 largest districts in the state of Texas, when we rank both our academic performance and financial strength – we are 8th which is the top 4%. That is something to celebrate! Recently, the district administration provided an update about STAAR testing to the Board. Below is the PowerPoint from that Work Study session.
