Local schools recognized as higher performing
From a Cy-Fair ISD press release:
Twenty-one CFISD schools were recently recognized by the National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA) for the 2009 Just for the Kids Campaign for Higher Performing Schools in Texas.
NCEA used two measures in the analysis for this recognition: growth and college and career readiness (CCR). Schools recognized for growth
achieved better improvement rates for their students compared with other schools with similar demographics. Schools recognized for college and
career readiness are the top 5 percent of schools in the state, based on the percentage of students scoring at or above NCEA's CCR Targets.
"Being recognized by the NCEA as a high performing school is an honor given to only a fraction of public schools statewide," said Dr. David Anthony, superintendent of schools. "With 28 percent of the CFISD schools receiving this distinction, this is another indicator that our students are achieving at high levels not seen within every Texas school
district."
The following schools, listed with their respective indicators, were recognized as Higher Performing Schools:
