The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is currently unable to issue the 2024 accountability ratings due to an ongoing court order, with the next hearing set for September 16. In the meantime, the TEA has confirmed that the Mesquite Independent School District (MISD) has accurately calculated its internal metrics for the upcoming year.
During a recent government meeting, key changes to the accountability system from 2022 to 2024 were outlined. Notably, while traditional campuses will see no changes in the STAR performance indicator, alternative education centers will adopt a new formula. Additionally, there are updates to the College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) indicators, including a cap on certain Industry-Based Certifications (IBCs) and adjustments to military enlistment returns.
The accountability system has introduced a new calculation method known as the transition table bridal, which emphasizes annual student growth and rewards schools that meet specific targets established by House Bill 1416. Domain 3 has been completely redesigned, altering the metrics used for evaluation.
The shift from evaluating individual student outcomes to a proportional weighting system marks a significant change in how district performance is assessed. This new approach considers the relative size and impact of each campus within the district, rather than isolating each indicator.
Historical data for MISD shows a fluctuating performance over recent years. In 2019, the district received an overall rating of 75, which dropped to a projected 64 in 2023 due to changes in the STAR assessment. However, the district is projected to improve to a rating of 71 in 2024. The number of campuses rated 'F' has decreased from eight in 2019 to five in 2024, while the number of 'A' rated campuses has increased from two to four.
To address these changes and improve student outcomes, MISD has implemented a series of strategic actions, including data analysis, root cause assessments, and the development of improvement plans. These initiatives are set to continue throughout the academic year, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments to ensure effectiveness.
The meeting concluded with acknowledgment of the rigorous updates to the grading system by the TEA, indicating a commitment to enhancing educational standards across the state.
