Academic Performance

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) Accountability System is a method for evaluating school districts and campuses with regard to their performance on certain "base indicators." A school district may be rated as Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable, or Low-performing. classification is based upon student performance indicators using TAAS passing rates and dropout rates. These indicators are used to provide 21 possible performance measures for all students and for African American, Hispanic, White, and Economically Disadvantaged student groups. The school district receives its rating based on the performance of it's "lowest" indicator. Since 1996, TEA has rated HISD Districtwide as Academically Acceptable.
