Mission, Texas- The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released accountability ratings for schools and districts. Most schools and districts can earn ratings of Met Standard, Improvement Required, or Met Alternative Standard for alternative schools. For the fourth year in a row, Mission Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) received a rating of Met Standard, as did all Mission CISD campuses.
School and district ratings are largely based on student performance on the annual STAAR test. The state also takes into consideration three other areas beyond the basic test scores: student progress, closing performance gaps, and postsecondary readiness. Falling short in any of these four areas can result in a campus or district getting a rating of Improvement Required.
An overview of the Mission CISD ratings are available online at, http://www.mcisd.net/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=217505&type=d&pREC_ID=478602.
You can look up detailed accountability ratings information for any school or district through the TEA website at, http://tea.texas.gov/2016Accountability.aspx.
The TEA has a short video that explains the state’s accountability ratings system that is available online, https://youtu.be/cbEgrdijuc8.
