While we are always interested in multiple views on the performance of our schools, it should be noted that the 2014 Children at Risk campus and district ratings are based on STAAR results that are more than a year old.
STAAR results from 2012-13 were used to assess the needs of our students and inform instructional practices for the current school year. State accountability ratings, which are based on school year 2013-14 performance, will be released by the Texas Education Agency Aug. 8.
