Community SnapshotThe TEA also monitors the academic accountability of school districts bydesignating them as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable,Academically Unacceptable, Unacceptable due to Special AccreditationInvestigation, or Not Rated. In 2001‐02, Alvin ISD received an accountabilityrating of “Exemplary,” which is only held by 11.5 percent of all districts in theState of Texas. Therefore, while each of the above statistics may not be asfavorable as the other districts, the Alvin ISD is outperforming all of themexcept for Friendswood ISD who is also “Exemplary.” The individual schoolsthat received the highest accountability rating of “exemplary” for the districtinclude Alvin Junior High, Assets Learning Center, Alvin Primary School,Mark Twain Primary School, Walt Disney Elementary, Melba PassmoreElementary, Hood‐Case Elementary and Don Jeter Elementary. Those with a“Recognized” rating include: Alvin High School, Manvel Junior High School,G.W. Harby Junior High School, Longfellow Elementary, E.C. MasonElementary School, and R.L. Stevenson Elementary.
