The Texas Education Agency (TEA) awarded all eight Midlothian ISD campuses and the District with Gold Performance Acknowledgements (GPA). The GPA system acknowledges districts and campuses for high performance on indicators other than those used to determine accountability ratings.
The Gold Performance Acknowledgments reflect areas of academic performance and growth that go beyond state accountability ratings. More >
Midlothian ISD has once again met all requirements for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standards established by the Texas Education Agency in compliance with the No Child Left Behind Act. Despite the increasing standards, MISD is proud that each campus also met the AYP requirements.
All public school campuses and school districts are required to meet AYP criteria on 35 indicators that measure reading/language arts, mathematics, and either graduation rate or attendance rate. The standard to meet AYP in mathematics increased from 42 percent in 2006 to 50 percent in 2007.
TEA reports that eighty-six percent of the 1,056 Texas school districts and seventy-nine percent of the 6,374 individual schools met the federal AYP requirements in 2007.
Superintendent Dr. Kennedy says, "This is just one example of the hard work and achievements of our students and teachers."
AYP ratings for schools and districts are available on the Texas Education Agency website here.
On August 1, 2007, the Texas Education Agency released ratings for all Texas school districts and schools. Six of Midlothian ISD’s campuses received Recognized rating and two campuses received Academically Acceptable. The district's ratings and information links follow.
