Schools Recognized for Academic Performance
The National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA), a department of ACT, Inc., has recognized 21 BISD campuses on its list of 2010 Higher Performing Schools in Texas.
Congratulations to Aiken, Benavides, Egly, Gonzalez, Morningside, Ortiz, Paredes, Putegnat, Russell, Southmost, Vermillion and Yturria Elementary Schools, Besteiro, Cummings, Lucio, Oliveira, Perkins, Stell, Stillman and Vela Middle Schools and Hanna High School.
The 2010 Higher Performing Schools (formerly known as Just for the Kids Schools) are identified by two measures: academic growth of students at the school and/or absolute student achievement using the school’s Commended Performance results on the Spring 2010 TAKS test. NCEA’s higher performing methodology controls for school and student demographics to allow for an apples-to-apples comparison of school achievement and to demonstrate that with the commitment of educators, all schools can succeed no matter the zip code.
NCEA began identifying Higher Performing Schools in 1998 and continues to annually release these lists as well as College and Career Readiness Charts for every public school in Texas.
