We'll Remember! |
- Dr. Guillermo Mancha, Jr., this week, made public the results of this year’s TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) tests within the district.
According to Mancha, the district received the preliminary scores this week and the preliminary scores showed that the district had improved significantly.
In fact, Mancha noted, “according to the Texas Projection Measure (the standard for determining TAKS scores across the state) our scores put us just a hair away from being recognized at each campus.” “Once the state adjusts for all calculated accountability indicators, campuses will receive their official ratiing for this school year,” Dr. Mancha went on to say.
Superintendent Mancha released the compliation of our scores as follows:
3rd Grade: Reading/ELA - 89% passing; Math - 91% passing;
4th Grade: Reading/ELA - 86% passing; Math - 78% passing; and Writing - 94% passing;
