Explained<\/p>\n

The A-F accountability ratings, established by the 2017 Texas Legislature, rank school districts on three metrics: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps. The system is designed to drive continuous improvement, according to a news release<\/a> from the TEA.<\/p>\n

DSISD earned 90 out of 100 points for student achievement, 79 points for school progress and 88 for closing the gaps.<\/p>\n

Statewide, 24% of districts and campuses improved ratings from the previous year, and 85% of campuses achieved acceptable academic performance, according to the news release. Around 22% of DSISD campuses improved their score by at least one letter rating, and 100% of campuses achieved acceptable academic performance.<\/p>\n

The results released on Aug. 14 are preliminary, and the TEA will release final results at a later date.
