About GISD :: Accountability and Performance
Texas
annually rates its public schools and districts on the academic performance
of their students. The TEA School Accountability ratings, instituted in
1993, judge the performance of each campus and district by administering a
rating based on TAKS scores, previous TAAS scores, and the State-Developed
Alternative Assessment (SDAA) scores. The SDAA test is for special education
students. Completion rate, required improvement, and the dropout rate are
also used to determine the campus and district ratings under the new ratings
system.

During the 2006-2007 school year, the Texas Education Agency administered the Texas Assessment of Knowledge & Skills (TAKS). The following are the percent of GISD students who met the standard level on this test in 2006-2007.
