PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The public vs. private debate rages on, but one thing almost everyone agrees on is thai within most public school
systems-even big-city systems- are some schools that work well. Here is a list of some Dallas- and Fort Worth-area
public school systems and their accreditation status from the Texas Education Agency; for ratings by region, service
center, and county, http://www.tea.state.tx.us . The state bases these ratings on performance on the TAAS
(Texas Assessment of Academic Skills. given to students in various grades from elementary through an exit exam to
graduate), the dropout rate, and the attendance rate.
The criteria for each rating is as follows:
To receive an exemplary rating, districts and campuses must have at least 90 percent of all students passing each
section of the TAAS, a dropout rate of no higher than I percent, and an attendance rale of at least 94 percent.
To be recognized, at least 75 percent of the student body must pass all sections of the TAAS, the dropout rale must
be no higher than 3.5 percent, and the attendance rate must be at least 94 percent. Recognized campuses must also
show required improvement, meaning that increases in TAAS scores, if projected for five years, would bring the
number of students passing to 90 percent.
A district or campus is rated academically unacceptable or low-performing if all the requirements are not met. Two
exceptions: If failure to meet the attendance rate requirement is the only reason a district or school is not
receiving a higher rating, it will be waived; and schools that were initially rated low-performing just have to show
sufficient improvement that, if kept steady, would bring the number of students passing the TAAS to 50 percent and
the dropout rate to 6 percent during the next five years.
We’ve listed the schools within each system that received “exemplary,” the highest rating. Call each district’s
administrative office for more information.
