Trustees Recognize 70 Schools Earning TEA Distinctions

Tonight, AISD trustees 70 AISD schools that have earned a total of 205 distinction designations from the Texas Education Agency.

In 2014, 111 AISD schools achieved the state鈥檚 highest rating of Met Standard or Met Alternative Standard under the Texas State Accountability System. Campuses that achieved the rating of Met Standard were eligible for distinction designations based on high performance on indicators other than those used to determine accountability ratings.

The TEA awarded distinction designations in seven areas: Academic Achievement in Reading/English Language Arts, Academic Achievement in Mathematics, Academic Achievement in Science, Academic Achievement in Social Studies, Top 25 Percent: Student Progress, Top 25 Percent: Closing Performance Gaps, and Postsecondary Readiness.  Seventy schools earned at least one distinction designation, 15 schools earned five or more, and nine schools earned every available distinction designation.
