9 Named Title I Reward Schools

Nine BISD campuses have been identified by the Texas Education Agency as high-performing and/or high-progress Title I schools for 2014-2015. Congratulations to Benavides, Breeden, Castañeda, Champion, Gonzalez, Ortiz, Peña, and Yturria Elementary Schools for earning both distinctions and Canales Elementary for earning a high-progress distinction. A high-performing reward school is identified as a Title I school with distinctions based on reading and math performance. A high-progress reward school is identified as a Title I school in the top 25% in annual improvement and/or a school in the top 25% of those demonstrating ability to close performance gaps (based on state accountability system safeguards in the 2013-2014 school year). For 2014-2015, TEA has identified a total of 192 Texas campuses as high-performing and 218 Texas campuses as high progresses. View the media release and list of BISD schools.
