Spring Branch ISD receives Met Standard rating

Spring Branch ISD and all of its schools but one received positive ratings of “Met Standard” under the 2013 state accountability results released recently by the Texas Education Agency.

Under the state’s new academic accountability system, the performance of school districts and campuses is either rated “Met Standard” or “Improvement Required.” Forty-five out of 46 SBISD schools earned the “Met Standard” rating. To receive a “Met Standard” rating, the school district and high school campuses had to meet four performance-based Index Targets.

All elementary and middle school had to meet the first three of these standards.
The Index Targets are (See Charts Below):
  • Index 1/Student Achievement – A look at performance across all subjects and all student groups at the satisfactory performance standard. The target score for these groups is 50.
  • Index 2/Student Progress – Looks at scores of scores of 10 student groups, including ethnic groups, English-language learners and special education students for reading, writing and math scores categorized as having met or exceeded progress standards. Schools in the bottom fifth percentile (by the school type) on Index 2 receive “Improvement Required” designation.
  • Index 3/Closing Performance Gaps – Includes scores of students who are economically disadvantaged and, as applicable, the campus’ or district’s two lowest performing ethnic groups from the year before. Target score is 55. •
  • Index 4/Postsecondary Readiness – Examines graduation rates and rates of students graduating on Recommended and Distinguished/Advanced Plans. Target score is 75..
In addition, schools rated as “Met Standard” may earn up to three Academic Achievement Distinctions when the certain criteria are met: high performance in reading/English language arts, high performance in mathematics and being grouped in the top quarter of their comparison group on Index 2 or Student Progress.

In SBISD, Distinction highlights include the following:
  • In all, SBISD schools earned 27 Academic Distinctions. These included 8 Distinctions for high performance in reading/English language arts; 10 Distinctions for high performance in mathematics; and 9 Distinctions for being grouped in the top 25 percent of their comparison group for student progress.
  • Every SBISD high school received at least one Academic Distinction. High schools received the greatest percentage of Academic Distinctions, 8 out of a possible 15 Distinctions, or 53 percent.
  • Sixteen of 39 schools received one or more Academic Distinction; 11 schools received two Academic Distinctions; and 5 schools receive 1 or more Academic Distinction.
  •  Schools Receiving Distinctions in Reading/ELA: Memorial and Stratford high schools; Landrum and Spring Woods middle schools, and Cornerstone Academy; and Memorial Drive, Wilchester and Thornwood elementaries.
  • Schools Receiving Math Distinctions: Memorial High, Stratford High and Westchester Academy for International Studies; Memorial and Northbrook middle schools; Cornerstone Academy and the “Middle School” at the Academy of Choice;and Frostwood, Wilchester and Sherwood elementaries.
