Tyler ISD Receives 2015 State Accountability Ratings

TYLER – The Tyler ISD Friday released its figures after the Texas Education Agency issued the 2015 state accountability system ratings for school districts and charter schools across the state. According to a TISD news release, districts, campuses, and charters receive one of three ratings under the new accountability system: Met Standard, Met Alternative Standard, or Improvement Required. The District, Robert E. Lee and John Tyler high schools, five middle schools, and nine elementary schools were rated as Met Standard. Of those, eight earned one or more distinction designations. Distinctions are awarded based on high levels of achievement in a particular index, according to the release. The performance index framework includes four areas: Student Achievement, Student Progress, Closing Performance Gaps and Postsecondary Readiness.

TISD points out that five Improvement Required schools missed only one of the applicable index targets and three missed two of the applicable index targets. District officials add that two schools that received an Improvement Required rating for 2014 received a Met Standard in 2015. And they say an appeal has been filed with TEA for T. J. Austin Elementary School, which received an Improvement Required rating.
