Gainesville ISD showed overall improvement in its preliminary A-F Accountability ratings. However, there was a lot of variation in how the individual campuses did.

“The A-F Accountability system provides information about student achievement, helps us highlight our successes and find areas to improve,” Dana Dudenhoeffer said at Monday’s board meeting. She is GISD’s executive director of curriculum and instruction. “While our accountability letter grade does not define our students, staff or district, we take these results very seriously. We use this information to guide our instructional priorities, strengthen support for our students and monitor progress throughout the year.”
