The Texas Education Agency released its 2016 accountability ratings Monday, and all 57 Katy ISD schools met the standard on all four indices. Indices include student achievement, student progress, closing performance gaps and postsecondary readiness.
The TEA specifies in order to receive a “met standard” rating in 2016, districts and campuses had to meet targets on three indices: student achievement or students progress and both closing performance gaps and postsecondary readiness.
Katy ISD officials declined to comment on the results, stating that State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness results have not yet been presented to the district’s board of trustees.
According the TEA’s website, more than five million students were enrolled in Texas public schools in the 2015-16 school year, and these students took more than eight million STAAR assessments in reading, mathematics, writing, science and social studies. Of all tests taken, 75 percent met the phase-in satisfactory standard for the 2015-16 school year, said the TEA’s website.
A full report of Katy ISD’s STAAR results and accountability ratings will be printed in September issue of Community Impact Newspaper, Katy.
