Social Studies in grade 8 Successful performance on the reading and math assessments in grade 5 and 8 is required by law, unless the student is enrolled in a reading or math course intended for students above the student’s current grade level, in order for the student to be promoted to the next grade level. For the 2011‐12 school year only, this requirement will be waived. See Promotion and Retention on page 19 for additional information. STAAR Modified and STAAR Alternate, for students receiving special education services, will be available for eligible students, as determined by the student’s ARD committee. STAAR‐L is a linguistically accommodated assessment that is available for certain limited English proficient (LEP) students, as determined by the student’s Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC). A Spanish version of STAAR is also available to students through grade 5 who need this accommodation. The 2011‐2012 school year was the first year of implementation of the STAAR testing program. For students who took the STAAR assessments required for grades 3‐8 in spring 2012, parent will be informed of their child’s performance once the results of these assessments are received by the district, expected in January 2013. End‐of‐Course (EOC) Assessments for Students in Grades 9‐12: Beginning with ninth graders in the 2011‐12 school year, end‐of course (EOC) assessments are administered for the following courses: Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II English I, English II, and English III Biology, Chemistry, and Physics World Geography, World History, and United States History Satisfactory performance on the applicable assessments will be required for graduation and will also affect the plan under which the student may graduate. There are three testing windows during the year in which a student may take an EOC assessment, which will occur during the fall, spring, and summer months. In each content area (English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies), a student must achieve a cumulative score. To determine whether the student meets the cumulative score, the student’s EOC assessment scores in each content area will be added together. If the student’s total score on the assessments within the content area is not equal to or greater than the cumulative score set by TEA, the student may retake any of the assessments in that content area until the student achieves the cumulative score. A student who does not achieve the minimum required score on any individual assessment will be required to retake that assessment. A student may choose to retake an EOC assessment in situations other than those listed above as well. STAAR Modified and STAAR Alternate, for students receiving special education services, will be available for eligible students, as determined by the student’s ARD committee. These particular EOC assessments may have different testing windows than the general assessments, and the ARD committee will determine whether successful performance on the assessments will be required for graduation. STAAR‐L, which is a linguistically accommodated assessment, will be available for students who have been determined to be limited English proficient (LEP) and who require this type of testing accommodation. 22 [E] applies to elementary school [M] applies to middle school [H] applies to high school
TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) TAKS is a state‐mandated assessment currently being transitioned to the STAAR program. However, depending on the grade level of the student, TAKS may still be administered to a student. For a student in grade 11 during the 2012‐2013 school year, the student will be assessed with what is termed the “exitlevel” TAKS in the subject areas of mathematics, English/language arts, social studies, and science, for which satisfactory performance is required for graduation. Any student in grade 12 who has not met the passing standard on the exit‐level TAKS will have an opportunity to retake the exam in accordance with timelines established by TEA. Summer School Programs Bilingual This program serves bilingual students in Pre‐K and Kindergarten. Students spend time enhancing skills learned during the school year related to English Language Arts. Compensatory Education Identified students in grades K through 6 receive remediation in math and reading. Availability is limited to identified students. Students are encouraged to attend in order to be considered for promotion to the next grade level. Student Success Initiative (SSI) Pending new state testing requirements, this program will target students who did not pass the second STAAR administration in Grades 5 and 8 in reading and/or math. It provides accelerated instruction in reading and math to encourage success on the third administration of STAAR, which is administered in the summer at the end of the program. Middle School Academic Recovery This program serves students who have failed two or more subjects in grades 7 and 8. Attendance in this program and successful efforts will ensure that the student will earn promotion to the next grade level. Tuition is charged to students who enroll. High School Credit Recovery High school students who need to recover credits they did not earn during the school year may attend this program. Space is limited and tuition is charged to students who enroll. High School Credit Academy High school students who wish to gain credits for classes they have not taken during the school year may do so in this program. A fee is charged and enrollment is contingent on the courses offered and the availability of space. High School End of Course Exam Prep Any student who needs to pass an EOC exam may enroll in this course in order to prepare for the summer administration of TAKS. Courses are available in Math, Science, Social Studies, and English. A fee is charged for this course. *All summer school programs are offered if funding is available. Please contact the principal or counselor for further information. 23 [E] applies to elementary school [M] applies to middle school [H] applies to high school
