Scurry County’s three public school districts, through the Texas Education Agency (TEA), released their 2016 Community and Student Engagement ratings.
The Texas Education Code requires all districts and charters to evaluate their own performance, as well as that of each campus, in the area of community and student engagement. Districts must assign one of four performance ratings — exemplary, recognized, acceptable or unacceptable.
Ratings for overall performance, fine arts, wellness/physical education, community/parent involvement, 21st century workforce, second language programs, digital learning environment, dropout prevention strategies and gifted and talented programs were part of the evaluation.
Snyder ISD ranked itself recognized in each of the nine areas. Snyder Junior High School was ranked exemplary in overall performance, 21st century workforce, digital learning environment and gifted and talented programs. The junior high school was ranked recognized on the remaining indicators.
Stanfield Elementary School and Snyder High School each were ranked recognized in the nine areas. Stanfield Elementary School was ranked because the information was for the 2015-16 school year when it was the district’s kindergarten campus.
Snyder Primary School was ranked exemplary for second language programs and gifted and talented programs and recognized in the other seven areas.
Snyder Intermediate School was ranked acceptable in all nine areas.
Hermleigh ISD was ranked exemplary in fine arts, recognized in overall performance, wellness/physical education, 21st century workforce, second language programs and digital learning environment. The district was rated acceptable for community/parent involvement, dropout rate prevention and gifted and talented programs.
Ira ISD was rated exemplary in overall performance, community/parent involvement, sec-ond language programs, digital learning programs, dropout prevention programs and gifted and talented programs. The district was rated recognized in the other three areas.
In 2016, all 1,207 school districts and charters in Texas reported a locally assigned overall rating of acceptable or higher. In addition, more than 99 percent of campuses received a locally assigned rating of acceptable or higher.
Local committees determine the criteria that districts use to evaluate performance and performance ratings.
