  combination of a measure and a group.
• Measures include
• TAKS tests in each of five subject areas
• SDAA-II tests across subject areas
• Dropout rate for Gr. 7-8

STATE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS

• There are five student groups in the Texas
  Accountability System.

STATE ACCOUNTABILITY RATINGS

• There are 36 possible indicators upon which a
  district or secondary campus may be rated, any
  one of which can lower the rating.
• Due to provisions for small numbers of students,
  however, not all districts or campuses are rated
  on all combinations of measures and groups.

IN CONCLUSION, BECAUSE OF DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS
(INCREASING BIRTHS AND NET IN-MIGRATION), THE
DISTRICT SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXPECT INCREASING
ENROLLMENT AND THE STUDENTS ARE LIKELY TO BE LOW

Progress toward Our Goals

• The percentage of students in IISD meeting the
  passing standard on TAKS is improving for all
  students and in each state accountability group,
  most notably in reading/ELA, mathematics and
  science
• The performance of all students and students in
  each accountability group is above the level
  required for a District Recognized rating in
  three of five TAKS subjects reading/ELA, writing
  and social studies

27
Progress toward Our Goals

• There are still gaps in achievement among state
  accountability groups, particularly in
  mathematics and science
• More students are achieving commended performance
  in more subjects on TAKS

28
Progress toward Our Goals

• Even as we make incremental improvement in TAKS
  performance, the standards for Acceptable and
  Recognized are also rising
• Our greatest challenge is how to accelerate the
  rate of improvement in student performance in a
  way that outpaces the increasing rigor of the
  accountability system
