Texas Education Agency Accountability Ratings

Final accountability ratings for 2009 from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) have been released and Coppell ISD has, once again, retained its rating of “Recognized.” In addition, eight of the nine elementary campuses were designated “Exemplary.” Two of the three middle school campuses also earned an “Exemplary” rating, including CMS West which has previously been “Recognized.” New Tech High @ Coppell, in its first year, received an “Exemplary” rating. Wilson Elementary, Coppell Middle School East and Coppell High School earned the rating of “Recognized.”

“We're excited about these ratings; however, the goals for students in CISD far exceed success on a one-time state test,” said CISD Superintendent Dr. Jeff Turner.

Accountability Measures:
TEA rates school districts on up to 36 measures to determine their rating (Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable, Academically Unacceptable). The first 25 measures involve the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills scores in reading, writing, social studies, math and science for all students as well as all four subgroups: black, Hispanic, white and economically disadvantaged.

The 26th measure checks the performance of special-education students on the State-Developed Alternative Assessment II. The remaining 10 measures grade districts on their completion rates for grades nine through 12 and their drop out rates for seventh through eighth graders for all students as well as the four subgroups.

Exemplary: at least 90% passing TAKS in reading/English language arts, writing, math, social studies and science.

Recognized: at least 75% (will be 80% by 2010) in reading/English language arts, writing, math, social studies and science, or 70% and make "Required Improvement" criteria.

Acceptable: at least 70% passing TAKS in reading/English language arts; at least 65% passing in writing, social studies; at least 50% passing in math; at least 45% passing in science; or make the "Required Improvement" criteria.

Academically Unacceptable: a district or campus that falls below the criteria to achieve Academically Acceptable receives this rating.

Minimum Size Criteria: In general, this criterion is based on a 30/10%/50 model. If a student group contains 30 students and 10% of the total tested population, that student group is factored into the accountability rating. If a student group has 50 or more students, that group is considered in the rating regardless of the percent of the total population.
