Student achievement data aids accountability updates
District administration delivered a midyear update of student achievement indicators in anticipation of updates to district accountability reporting expected from the Texas Education Agency in 2023.
The Dec. 13 update came from RRISD Chief of Instruction Ryan Smith, who said that to achieve the highest rating from the TEA, the district will have to hit the 88% mark for students achieving college, career and military readiness.
Smith said the district is working with Austin Community College to create courses for students who have not achieved any of the measures before graduation.
