State accountability ratings released today show more Tyler ISD schools earned the state’s top two ratings compared with last year and no schools received the state’s lowest rating.
The district as a whole received an academically acceptable rating.
Of the district’s 25 rated schools, 13 were recognized, 10 were academically acceptable and two were exemplary, according to results posted on the Texas Education Agency website.
The Smith County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program and the St. Louis School – Wayne D. Boshears Center for Exceptional Programs were not rated.
The agency rates schools based primarily on student performance on standardized tests; the school’s completion rate, if applicable; and the annual dropout rate.
The state’s top rating is exemplary, followed by recognized and academically acceptable. The lowest rating is academically unacceptable.
Last year the school district had 12 schools with the state’s top two ratings. This year they have 15.
Of the district’s 17 elementary schools, 10 were recognized, five were academically acceptable, and two were exemplary.
At the middle school level, three of the schools received the recognized rating and three were academically acceptable.
Both John Tyler and Robert E. Lee high schools received academically acceptable ratings.
