Round Rock ISD Touts Its 'Met Standard' Designation From Texas Academic Performance Report

ROUND ROCK, TX — School district officials touted their recently secured "met standard" accountability rating as detailed in the recently released 2015-16 Texas Academic Performance Report.

The TAPR compiles a wide range of information on student performance in each Texas school and district, school officials noted. Performance measures include State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) results by grade, subject and student group; dropout and attendance rates; completion of advanced high school classes and graduation programs; and participation in college admissions tests.

"Met Standard" and "Improvement Required" are the two designations given.

“Round Rock ISD continues to surpass regional and state averages in performance indicator data, which further reinforces our success in serving all students,” Superintendent of Schools Steve Flores said. “Our achievements are only possible through the hard work and dedication our students, teachers and support staff put in each day to make Round Rock ISD the Destination District for Public Schools.”
The reports also provide information on school and district staffing, programs, student discipline and demographics. Much of the data are collected through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS). Each year, school districts must submit student, staff, demographic and program participation data electronically in a standardized format.
A public presentation of the results is scheduled to be presented on Thursday, Jan. 19 during the Round Rock ISD Board of Trustees meeting.
The TAPR and School Report Cards, broken down by District and campus, are also published online on the State Accountability page on the district's website.
