AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Almost three-fourths of Texas school
districts got the highest ratings possible from the state largely
due to a measure that allows students to be credited for
improvement even if they didn't pass.
The number of school districts rated as exemplary, the state's
top category, more than doubled from last year. That's according to
annual state accountability ratings released Friday by the Texas
Education Agency.
Many of the improvements were made possible using the Texas
Projection Measure, which factors in a projection of future
performance on the state's standardized test.
The number of schools receiving the state's lowest rating,
academically unacceptable, dropped to 30 districts from 87 last
year.
