target for middle schools is 96%.
An indicator of how many students are in regular attendance. Percentage of students with fewer than 10% absences (excused or
unexcused) is based on a snapshot taken at the end of the fifth six-week grading period.

provided by parents/guardians at registration. Students identified as Hispanic are not counted elsewhere.

Average number of days not at campus, such as for illness or personal business. Counts do not include vacation days or leave.
Percentage of teachers from previous school year who continued at the school. The number of teachers at the school in both
current and previous years is divided by the number of teachers in the previous year.
Accountability Rating System for Texas Public Schools
State accountability rating
School must meet targets on at least three indexes to achieve "Met Standard": Index 1 or Index 2, Index 3, and Index 4. Schools
can earn distinctions for student achievement in math, reading, science, and social studies; top 25% (among comparable schools)
in student progress; top 25% in closing performance gaps; and postsecondary readiness.
School Effectiveness Index
SEI
A measure of performance on assessments that is relative to other Dallas ISD campuses. Isolates school's effect on student
outcomes by controlling for differences the school cannot control, such as socio-economic status, neighborhood characteristics,
and prior-year academic levels.
Parent Survey
Percentage positive responses
Survey conducted in spring. Positive responses include Agree and Strongly Agree. Other responses included Disagree, Strongly
Disagree, and Neutral.
Staff Climate Survey
Percentage positive responses
Surveys conducted November and May. Positive responses include Agree and Strongly Agree. Other responses included Disagree,
Strongly Disagree, and Neutral.
State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR)
Percentage at Level 2
Percentage at Level 3
Percentage of all tests with satisfactory (Level 2) or higher scores using panel-recommended standards. Statistics include results
from all STAAR test types. School's statistics based on results from students in the accountability subset. District statistics are
based on grade levels at the campus; beginning 2015, state statistics not available for isolated grades, such as Grade 8 Algebra I.
Satisfactory performance indicates a reasonable likelihood of success in the next grade or course.
Percentage of all tests with advanced (Level 3) scores. Scores at Level 3 are a subset of scores at Level 2 (satisfactory). Advanced
performance indicates a high likelihood of success in the next grade or course.
