Key Patterns & Implications

  1. High overall achievement & growth – campus far exceeds state in nearly every STAAR metric.

  2. Strengths: ELA/Reading, Science, Cohort graduation, CCMR, low dropout.

  3. Watch-areas:
    • Grade 6 Math dip in Meets/Masters.
    • Algebra I Meets droppage.
    • Limited career-path credentials (0 % IBCs).

  4. Unique context: >90 ext{%} military-connected; low economically-disadvantaged concentration.

  5. Staffing advantages – low class sizes, experienced faculty, high % with master’s.

  6. Attendance strong, chronic absenteeism notably below state norm.
