C-FB ISD’s Report Card – Made Plain and Simple

C-FB ISD uses an outside, independent firm called Education Resource Group (ERG) to assess our achievement. ERG ranks every school district in Texas using three key measures. They are:

• Academic achievement is measured by the Academic Performance Index or API
• Financial efficiency is measured by the Financial Performance Index or FPI
• Together the API and FPI are used to measure overall performance of a district measuring both achievement and financial efficiency with the Education Productivity Index or EPI

So how does C-FB rank?

Our API (academic performance) is 7. Out of the 200 largest school districts in Texas*, we have the 7th best academic performance.

Our FPI (financial efficiency) is 41. Out of the 200 largest school districts in Texas, we outperform 139 others in the area of using our money effectively and efficiently.

Our EPI (academic and financial rankings together) is 6. But how did we get to six? Well, of the 6 other districts ahead of us in academic performance, some of them spend more than us and are less efficient with their resources. Therefore, when you put the academic (API) and financial (FPI) piece together, we move up to six.

API + FPI = EPI

There it is – the school district’s report card made plain and simple.

*The 200 largest districts in Texas educate over 80% of the children in Texas.

A Message from the Superintendent

It is hard to believe that the school year ends today. It has been a great year. Our C-FB team is exceptional and I thank you for your effort and dedication to student achievement.

As the school year ends, we have team members who are retiring from public education and some who are joining other districts. We will miss each of you and we wish you well as you embark on your new journey.

Vince Lombardi once said, “Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.” Thank you for your commitment to our goal of high achievement for all students. With our collective effort, we have accomplished much this year.

Have a great summer. Take time to refresh and relax.

Convocation 2013

Seems unusual to be talking about the 2013-2014 school year when 2012-2013 is just ending...But the plans are in the works for a great 2013-2014 school year.

I am excited to see everyone together for Convocation on August 20, 2013 in the R. L. Turner Auditorium. here is the schedule:

• High School – 8 am
• Middle School and all Other Departments- 10:15 am
• Elementary – 1 pm

This year's theme is Design. Improve. Achieve.  Each session will be a wonderful time to reconnect and to get energized for a new year.  I am really excited to announce that our Convocation speaker is a C-FB alumnus Michael Brick who wrote Saving the School.

I look forward to seeing everyone there!
