TEA announced the results from the 2016-17 state accountability system Aug. 15. All eligible LISD schools earned the state’s Met Standard rating and the district as a whole earned the Met Standard rating.
“We are proud of our students, teachers and families for all student success,” Superintendent Dan Troxell said. "State accountability is a necessary component of our education system, but our focus as educators in Leander ISD will continue to be success for the whole child. We have room to keep growing, and I look forward to working with our talented team to improve for kids."
