A student's performance on a single test is only one measure of their academic preparedness and ability to contribute to the workplace or community. Texas public schools do much more to prepare students for success after high school. However, did you know that elementary and middle school ratings are based solely on STAAR scores? What do you want to be measured when your schools are rated? #TxEd #MeasureWhatMatterTX #TexasSchools #TexasPublicSchools #STAARTest #AFSchoolRating
