❓ What Do These Scores Actually Mean?
The Texas Education Agency rates every public school on a scale of 0–100 each year. Here’s what each category measures in plain language:
|
Overall Score The school’s report card grade A single number that combines all three categories below. Think of it like a GPA for the whole school. Scores of 90–100 = A, 80–89 = B, 70–79 = C, and so on. |
Student Achievement How many students are passing This measures the percentage of students who score at or above grade level on STAAR tests. A higher score means more students are meeting state standards in reading and math. |
|
School Progress / Academic Growth Are students improving year over year? This doesn’t just ask “are kids passing?” — it asks “are kids getting better?” A student who starts behind but makes strong progress contributes positively to this score. It rewards growth, not just where students start. |
Closing the Gaps Is every group of students succeeding? This looks specifically at whether historically underserved groups — such as economically disadvantaged students, English language learners, and students with disabilities — are achieving at the same rate as their peers. A high score here means the school is truly serving all children. |
💡 Bottom line: A school can have great test scores but still get a lower rating if some groups of students are being left behind. Rose Haggar’s growth across all categories — especially Closing the Gaps — shows that our improvement is broad-based and benefits every child.
