The childrenatrisk.org 2014 rankings for Texas elementary schools have been published. Their methodology has changed from last year and can certainly be argued.
Weighting was evidently applied to scores this year based upon the economic condition of the students. It appears that if a school had good test scores and the families were relatively prosperous then the school might have been graded down because the students should have done better. I may have misunderstood the web site’s explanation and would welcome any clarification that the readers can offer.
Without regard to the methodology we do have a consistent perspective on the state’s schools. There were 4,359 elementary schools ranked this year so a school with a ranking above 2,179 is in the bottom half of the state.
Congratulations to our elementary schools that ranked well!
