Keller ISD a Recognized district
The Keller Independent School District has been rated "Recognized" by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This is the first time that Keller ISD has been rated "Recognized" under the new, more rigorous accountability system. Keller ISD is now one of the largest districts in the state to receive the "Recognized" rating.
"We are very proud of becoming a Recognized District," said Superintendent Dr. James R. Veitenheimer. "This achievement would not have been possible without the commitment of our principals, teachers and staff. It's very rewarding to see how our newly aligned curriculum has helped our students reach a new level of success. We expect to see even better results in the future."
Of Keller ISD's 33 assessed campuses, 27 earned ratings of "Exemplary" or "Recognized" according to accountability ratings. Overall, Keller ISD had 13 "Exemplary" campuses, 14 "Recognized" campuses, and five "Acceptable" campuses.
Nine campuses improved from their 2007 ratings, while 20 others maintained their standing.
The ratings reflect Keller ISD's performance for the 2007-08 school year. The performance indicators include the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills exam, the completion rate for students in grades 9-12 and annual dropout rate for grades seven and eight.
A full list of the individual campus ratings can be found here.
