Every year, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) uses the accountability system to evaluate the academic performance of Texas public schools. For schools that demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, they are awarded a distinction designation. We are proud to share that Fulshear High School earned 5 designations for the 2018-19 school year!
English Language Arts/Reading
Fulshear High School was awarded a distinction designation for outstanding achievement in ELA/reading based on outcomes of several performance indicators, including attendance rate, SAT scores, participation and accelerated student progress. This award was determined by comparing the campus’s performance for each indicator within the campus comparison group. If the campus top 25 percent of its campus comparison group they receive a Distinction Designation.
Social Studies
The second Distinction Designation was awarded for outstanding achievement in social studies based on outcomes of several performance indicators, including attendance rate, SAT scores, participation and accelerated student progress. This award was determined by comparing the campus’s performance for each indicator within the campus comparison group. If the campus top 25 percent of its campus comparison group they receive a Distinction Designation.
Academic Growth
This Distinction Designation was based on academic growth at Fulshear High School. It is awarded to campuses whose School Progress, Part A domain scaled score is ranked in the top 25 percent (Q1) of campuses in its campus comparison group. Campuses are arranged in descending order per School Progress, Part A scaled scores. If the School Progress, Part A scaled score for a campus is within the top quartile of its comparison group, it earns a distinction for student progress.
Postsecondary Readiness
Campuses that receive an A, B, C, or D rating are eligible for a distinction designation for outstanding academic performance in attainment of postsecondary readiness. To earn a distinction for postsecondary readiness, high schools and K–12 campuses must have at least 33 percent of their indicators in the top quartile of their campus comparison groups. This includes SAT/ACT participation, graduation rate, along with college, career, and military readiness.
Closing the Gaps
A distinction designation for outstanding performance in closing student achievement gaps is awarded to campuses whose Closing the Gaps domain scaled score is ranked in the top 25 percent (Q1) of campuses in its campus comparison group, based on differentials among racial/ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, and other factors.
