The Texas Education Agency evaluates school performance according to three domains:

 

Student Achievement evaluates performance across all subjects for all students, on both general and alternate assessments; College, Career, and Military Readiness indicators; and graduation rates.

 

School Progress measures district and campus outcomes in two areas: the number of students that grew at least one year academically (or are on track) as measured by STAAR results and the achievement of all students relative to districts or campuses with similar economically disadvantaged percentages.

 

Closing the Gaps uses disaggregated data to demonstrate differentials among racial/ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, and other factors.

 

All KIPP Texas schools will start the 2022-23 school year on Wednesday, August 17. For more information on KIPP Texas Public Schools, please visit www.kipptexas.org
