Texas Education Agency Accountability Ratings
Final accountability ratings for 2008 from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) were released today (August 1, 2008) and Coppell ISD has retained its rating of “Recognized.” All ten elementary campuses were designated “Exemplary” as were two of the three middle school campuses, Coppell Middle School East and Coppell Middle School North. Coppell Middle School West and Coppell High School both earned the rating of “Recognized.”

According to Superintendent Dr. Jeff Turner, “Across the board, we are excited about the job our teachers and students did on our TAKS scores. Our Commended scores were higher than ever before and we are continuing to make great gains that have kept our scores very competitive with the top school districts in the area. Since the preliminary data came out this past spring, we have been aggressively assessing the data and planning teaching strategies that will focus our instructional efforts. We will use the success that we’ve had to propel us to do even better as we kickoff this new year.”

Accountability Measures:
TEA rates school districts on up to 36 measures to determine their rating (Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable, Academically Unacceptable). The first 25 measures involve the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills scores in reading, writing, social studies, math and science for all students as well as all four subgroups: black, Hispanic, white and economically disadvantaged.

The 26th measure checks the performance of special-education students on the State-Developed Alternative Assessment II. The remaining 10 measures grade districts on their completion rates for grades nine through 12 and their drop out rates for seventh through eighth graders for all students as well as the four subgroups.
Exemplary: at least 90% passing TAKS in reading/English language arts, writing, math, social studies and science.
Recognized: at least 75% in reading/English language arts, writing, math, social studies and science, or 70% and make "Required Improvement" criteria.
Acceptable: at least 70% passing TAKS in reading/English language arts; at least 65% passing in writing, social studies; at least 50% passing in math; at least 45% passing in science; or make the "Required Improvement" criteria.
Academically Unacceptable: a district or campus that falls below the criteria to achieve Academically Acceptable receives this rating.
Minimum Size Criteria: In general, this criterion is based on a 30/10%/50 model. If a student group contains 30 students and 10% of the total tested population, that student group is factored into the accountability rating. If a student group has 50 or more students, that group is considered in the rating regardless of the percent of the total population.
